Sustainable Innovations in Minimal Spaces
In Montreal, a supermarket has installed a 2,700-square-foot vegetable garden on its rooftop, where they grow organic fruits, vegetables and herbs. These products, harvested on site, are sold directly in the store, offering maximum freshness to customers.
This approach significantly reduces emissions by transport and plastic use, while the green roof acts as a thermal insulator, reducing the energy consumption of the building. This project not only promotes sustainability, but also serves as a model for integrating food production in dense urban environments.
