I saw on tv3 once a man grew hydroponic vegetables on top of his rooftop. It has running water & liquid ferterlizer circulated on his rooftop - he save money from paying less electrical usage for fans and air-conds because of the cooled rooftop. I wonder if this method introduced to hunger-stricken countries???
