Rooftop farming is a practical solution of smart urban agriculture to furnish diverse socio-environmental benefits and short food supply chains, especially in densely populated cities. This study aims raise security with less use public water energy production, through utilizing green for sustainable management. A system dynamics (SD) model framed across the nexus climate, water, (WEF) sectors ...
