Rooftop Republic
Hong Kong
Turning grey concrete

In Hong Kong, with over 98% of the food
being imported and everyone living in
urban areas, citizens are increasingly
disconnected from their food.
Rooftop Republic, a pioneer of the urban
farming movement in Hong Kong, has a
vision to revolutionise the food system
and transform the relationship people
have with their food.
This social enterprise collaborates with
architects, engineers, organic farmers,
chefs and nutritionists to develop and
deliver urban farming solutions.
Offering innovative end-to-end services
- from design, installation to
maintenance and community engagement,
Rooftop Republic incorporates urban
farms into city-dwellers’
lifestyles, making the city more
sustainable and liveable.
The DBS Foundation Grant will be used for
setting up an urban farming academy,
develop training programmes and promote
awareness for integrating farming into
city living in Hong Kong.
