Rooftop farming can play an important role in protecting health in retirement. Like many others, retired army officer Azizul Haque enjoys this benefit. He has built a lovely rooftop farm on the 2,300-square-foot roof of his home in Mohakhali, Dhaka.
Six years of growth
The spacious Mohakhali DOHS residential area has many rooftop farms, and this is one of them, retired Brigadier Azizul Haque's garden of fruits and crops. It began in 2013, and in just six years it has become a unique field of local and foreign, common and uncommon fruits and crops.
A rooftop orchard
It would not be wrong to call this diverse rooftop farm a fruit orchard; fruit trees have been added day by day, along with leafy vegetables. Many structures have been installed for farming needs, which the owner says were planned in advance and are scientific. All modern organic methods are followed.
