1:25Now PlayingRecognizing that New York City's rooftops are drastically underutilized despite receiving abundant sunlight, Brooklyn Grange is addressing multiple interconnected challenges at once. The company responds to growing awareness of problems within industrialized agriculture, environmental concerns around fossil fuels, health issues in our food system, and critical urban infrastructure needs like stormwater management. Now operating over 135 gardens across the city, including a flagship one-acre farm atop the Javits Center, they've solved complex engineering challenges (like efficiently pumping water 11 stories high) to create a working model of sustainable urban agriculture. The result: fresh produce delivered directly from rooftop to table.
