Why back UrbanRoots?

UrbanRoots converts idle rooftops into productive farms, cutting food miles to food blocks.

This round outfits twelve new rooftops and a second distribution hub on Detroit's east side.

“Fresh food should not depend on your zip code. Our rooftops are closing that gap daily.”

Amara Johnson — Founder, UrbanRoots
