Future Canvas has recently visited an inspiring roof top farm in Brooklyn, New York. There were beautiful herbs and vegetables growing and a friendly and inspired community had come together to create an inspiring model that other people will be able to replicate in other cities around the world. Visit their website for more information: www.rooftopfarms.org

The leaves have a wax-like surface (ideal for wet and greasy foods), and is flexible meaning it can be used for many different types of packaging.
