Assessment of the Potential for Urban Agriculture in West Oakland, CA

Más información sobre el libro

Rooftop farming emerges as a viable solution to the challenges of urban agriculture, particularly in areas with limited access to land and contaminated soil. In West Oakland, California, over one million square feet of rooftop space presents a significant opportunity for urban farming, potentially generating up to $4 million in revenue through local sales. This initiative not only aims to meet Oakland's goal of 30% locally sourced food but also addresses the food desert issue in West Oakland by providing fresh produce to underserved communities.
