Describe the challenge you want to address:
Many community gardens are being kicked out of their spaces on the ground to build more housing.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Instead of kicking them out, rebuild the community garden as a roof garden on the new building. Focus on growing vegetables and have hens, bees, etc. Also add solar panels. There is new technology that can make the entire exterior of the building (walls) able to generate electricity. Find a way to do that.
