If ever in the area, or if you would like to take advantage of their public education program with your school, the Hudson River Science Barge is well worth a stop. More info here

A few facts from the barge, all food grown

• Produces no carbon emissions
• Produces no waste stream
• Requires seven times less space
• Requires five to ten times less water
• Use zero chemical pesticides
  
• Plus much, much more

Given that more than half the world's population now lives in cities, we're happy to see the development of such projects. However, with more than 5,000 hectares of unused, unshaded rooftop space in New York City it should stop at just one barge.
