Welcome to the world’s largest urban rooftop farm - BBC World Service

Innovation, resilience and sharing. The pandemic made us realize that the Earth has a global balance and for us it is a call to get closer to nature. Paris needs this

farm

for three reasons: for environmental reasons, to teach people how to eat healthy, and also to educate and build a community. It's hard to find places where you can plant things in Paris, so this project is really useful. I believe that more and more people will participate in these types of projects. The pandemic made us realize that the Earth has a global balance and that any change could have very big consequences, and a space like this is important to us because it can connect any citizen with the earth even if they live in big cities.

You don't have to be an expert to grow things here. You just need to love plants and nature, recreate your own little gardening space in the middle of a city, this is great. Before we wanted to be sustainable, but we didn't realize how much we depended on supermarkets, on the global system and the way it collapses; we should be ready to restart.
