The current world is the world of urbanization. The green world is turning into a world of bricks and stones day by day. Our beautiful world is being filled with high-rise buildings. The number of plants is only decreasing day by day. Among so many things, roof agriculture has become a blessing. Roof gardens are becoming more and more popular in urban areas of Bangladesh, especially in the capital Dhaka.

Our capital is the most uninhabitable city in the world. The number of people in this city is increasing day by day. The amount of carbon dioxide is increasing while the amount of oxygen is decreasing. Only this roof agriculture can now provide this huge amount of oxygen.

Our daily commodity market is now flooded with chemical ingredients. We are forced to eat these things and as a result we are getting infected with various deadly diseases day by day. There is some surplus by producing vegetables required for the family by gardening on the roof.

The roof garden now provides food for the human mind. Thousands of people find a little peace in the roof garden. The place of physical work of the people of the city is very little and most of the people in the city suffer from diabetes and other diseases. The roof of the city house is now an ecosystem. This roof garden can be one of the tools for the protection of biodiversity.

Finally, it can be said that roof agriculture is becoming more and more popular among the people all over the world including Bangladesh. We should not leave the roof of our house empty and plant a garden of our choice there. It will be to our advantage and we will be able to build a new and diverse world.
