I think it should be possible to have dairy and poultry on rooftops too

Way awesome idea! I do hope that Gotham Greens decides to expand to other Cities for instance #Philadelphia :) This is a smart inventive idea, that can generate: Healthier food supply, Heart Healthy Communities, and hundreds of local jobs in a harden economy ;)
