Sky, which is growing food and providing community learning opportunities on the roof of a supermarket in Crouch End, will tell the story of this unique project. Food from the Sky is establishing an inspirational alternative approach to food production and consumption.
 
“Food from the Sky … has potential to transform London’s skyline,
bring living life back to the city, and connect more Londoners with where their food comes from.” Mark Ridsdill Smith ‘Vertical Veg’
 
“Starting from nothing but a good idea and some local recycled
resources, in a matter of months it (Food from the Sky) transformed a patch of concrete into a blooming food garden, created community, and brought the heart into the middle of a busy supermarket.”
Dr Nicole Freris, local GP
