Rooftop Farm of Local Government Additional Secretary Mesbah Uddin

Rooftop farming has become a social movement, and Local Government Ministry additional secretary Mesbah Uddin, an agriculturist, keeps a rooftop farm alongside his work.

Rooftop farming has become a social movement. People who want to befriend plants, whatever their position, no longer keep their interest in farming to themselves; it is visible. Farming is now under way on the roofs of many government institutions and on the roofs and grounds of many educational institutions. Ministers and their families farm at official residences, and many senior officials spend much of their free time with fruit, crops and plants. Farming is now a positive activity worth talking about.
