Agricultural rooftop energy storage

Can rooftop agriculture and energy systems improve food-energy-land Nexus sustainability?

To achieve food-energy-land nexus sustainability in an urban context, rooftop agriculture and energy systems offer promising solutions through multi-functional land-use design strategies.

Are rooftop greenhouses a sustainable solution to urban agriculture?

The environmental impacts of food systems will increase in tandem with rapid urban population growth, which calls for alternative solutions, such as urban agriculture, to reach the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Among several urban agriculture systems, rooftop farming and its subset, rooftop greenhouses, are promising technologies.

Are rooftop agriculture and photovoltaic power production sustainable solutions?

Nature Cities (2024) Cite this article Urban rooftop agriculture (RA) and photovoltaic power production (RPV) offer sustainable solutions for the food–energy nexus in cities but compete for limited rooftop space.

Can rooftop agriculture be used for Urban Energy Eco-Design?

We apply the framework to evaluate three rooftop agriculture options, namely, basic rooftop farming, unconditioned greenhouse, and conditioned greenhouse, and one rooftop energy supply option, i.e., PV panels, for an urban energy eco-design case in Shanghai, China.

Are urban rooftop agriculture and photovoltaics a sustainable solution?

Preprints and early-stage research may not have been peer reviewed yet. Urban rooftop agriculture (RA) and photovoltaics (RPV) offer sustainable solutions for energy-food systems in cities but compete for limited rooftop space.

Should rooftop areas be allocated to agriculture and solar power?

An optimized allocation of rooftop areas to agriculture and solar power could comprehensively retain all benefits while advancing urban sustainability and resilience. The feasible proportion of RA and RPV offers a design strategy for using roofs efficiently and comprehensively in a city.
