Recipient of the Publishing Award (Lifestyle & Popular Science) at the 2017 Hong Kong Publishing Biennial Awards
A growing number of people residing in high-density cities like Hong Kong are aspiring towards a way of living that is both sustainable and regenerative. Rooftop gardens of fruits and vegetables are opening up opportunities for urban farming enthusiasts. But urban agriculture also poses challenges different from ground-level farming.
With his 25 years of expertise in landscaping research and fieldwork, Hong Kong University Professor Mathew Pryor developed this bilingual guide to help individuals and community groups create and run productive rooftop farms with minimal effort and expense.
The book won the Publishing Award in the Popular Science Category at the Hong Kong Publishing Biennial Awards in 2017.
