Cultivating the Concrete Jungle
Urban terrace farming is rapidly growing as city dwellers look for sustainable ways to grow their own food. However, both beginners and experienced gardeners often struggle with knowing exactly what to plant and when, given the micro-climates of their specific rooftops.
Built for the BuzzOnEarth India Hackathon 2024 at IIT Kanpur, Green Terrace bridges the gap between traditional gardening and modern AI. We created a supportive digital ecosystem tailored specifically for terrace farmers.
