Paris, Aug 10(EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Mohammed Badra) The Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is cultivating an alternative solution to industrial agriculture on its rooftop: a 14,000-square-metre garden overlooking the Eiffel Tower. The garden, Nature Urbaine, situated on the roof of Pavilion 6 was installed at the end of June by Agripolis and Cultures en Ville, and when fully operational will be the largest of its kind in all of Europe. Tomatoes, strawberries and aromatic plants are already growing in the sizable garden, which is equivalent to two football pitches. FOOTAGE OF THE ROOFTOP.
Paris, Aug 10 (EFE), (Camera: Marta Garde).- The largest urban farm built on a rooftop is set to open in Paris. Twenty workers will take care of the 14,000-square-meter farm, which is expected to produce up to 1,000kg of fruit and vegetables every day.FOOTAGE OF THE URBAN FARM AT THE rooftop of Paris Expo’s Pavillon 6.SOUNDBITES OF PASCAL HARDY, AGRIPOLIS PRESIDENT:1. "The idea is not to redo industrial agriculture in the city, it doesn't make sense. We try to extract the maximum number of lessons from everything that happens in the world of agriculture and food to propose a new productive, local and healthy model."2. "The technique that we have developed prevents from trapping urban pollution."3. "Our systems are totally closed and, which allows us to never be in contact with airborne particles."4. "We do not use pesticides or chemicals."5. "Prices are competitive. We are cheaper than biological but inevitably more expensive than conventional because we are in smaller areas than industrial agriculture is, we cannot mechanize and there is a lot of labour involved."6. "In two years, this area will become the largest urban farm on a roof in Europe. So far we have only installed a third."
