Rooftop gardening

Most of the rooftops of Dhaka City are left unused. If these rooftops are brought under cooperative farming projects or planned individual efforts, it would go a long way to solving our environmental issues. Cities like Singapore, Bangkok, New York have integrated urban farming projects on rooftops and it has proved as a great success. I would like to request The Daily Star and other media portals and the city corporations to run campaigns to popularise rooftop gardening among the residents.
