The Sustainable Rooftop Agriculture Guide is derived from a research thesis by Joshua Foss, Aaron Quesnel and Nina Danielsson at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona, Sweden in the spring of 2011.

This guide should act as a general resource to help city stakeholders better understand the role rooftop agriculture (RA) can play in moving urban regions towards sustainability. It is not a technical resource with detailed data, but can be used to build a foundation to better understand the concept of RA in a systemic and comprehensive way.
