| Description: | The evolution of population increase in major urban areas has placed further pressure on an already fragile food system/economy. To eliminate the distance between food sources and inner cities, areas of urban agriculture have sprouted up in unlikely locations: vacant lots, rooftops, and abandoned shipping containers. City dwellers eager for fresh local produce have been colonizing available tracts of land to bridge the gap between sustainability and availability. But all of this has been done on a limited scale, or as one-off approaches by disparate parties. This report leverages remote sensing capabilities at its core, which offers a tried and tested vantage point to “see” the city as a whole. This scalar view enables a comprehensive search for viable rooftops, and the creation of a holistic network of usable acreage for agricultural implementation. Utilizing the language/tools of agriculture metrics and combining advances in IoT technology, satellite data provides the ideal platform for establishing an urban agriculture landscape on a city or region wide scale (through indexing and monitoring). This report outlines a roadmap for New York City combining remote sensing, GIS, precision agriculture technology, and IoT to establish a Smart City enabled network of urban agriculture rooftops. |
