On top of a striking new exhibition hall in the southern 15th arrondissement of Paris, the world's largest urban rooftop farm has started to bear fruit. Strawberries, to be precise: small, intensely flavoured and resplendently red. They sprout abundantly from cream-coloured plastic columns. Pluck one out to peer inside and you see the columns are completely hollow, the roots of dozens of strawberry plants dangling into thin air. From identical vertical columns nearby burst row upon row of lettuces; near those are aromatic basil, sage and peppermint. Opposite, in narrow, horizontal trays packed not with soil but coco coir (coconut fibre), grow heirloom and cherry tomatoes, shiny aubergines and brightly coloured chards. "It is," says Pascal Hardy, surveying his domain, "a clean, productive and sustainable model of agriculture that can in time make a real contribution to the resilience - social, economic and also environmental - of the kind of big cities where most of humanity now lives. And look: it really works."
