In present practice and challenge for the urban people to produce food from their own roof, balcony, terrace. Rooftop agriculture promotes long run urban environmental sustainability. Rooftop farming plays a significant role in pandemic. Main objective of this study is environmental sustainability on rooftop farming. The Soilless culture hydroponics, organic farming and aeroponics, Tissue culture, Media culture cultivates rooftop farming. How to conserve endangered plants in rooftop farming? How to benefit from practices on rooftop gardens in micro-culture methods? How to reuse household waste in rooftop farming? How to check air pollution through rooftop farming? How to reduce excess use of pesticide and chemical fertilizers and its effects on the environment, Flora and fauna? The data is collected from door to door meet and open field survey of rooftop gardeners, Stakeholders, participants, researchers, Technicians, educators and local gardeners and non-gardeners. Open handed semi structured questionnaires form participants. The primary data are collected directly from urban people who are involved and not involved in rooftop gardens. The field experiment for preparation of soilless culture media, compost by recycling of vegetable peels, Bio-fertilizers. The result is gathered by different practitioner’s opportunities, methods, constraints and findings. The urban has also realized that to combat increased air pollution in urban environments. The green cover of plants needs to be increased. The plants are known to escape the ill effect of air pollutants besides providing an insulating effect of temperature. The rooftop gardens offer and adopt these challenging circumstances. The rooftop garden has the following opportunities that are easy to cultivate a fearless environment. The growth of urban population and change of consumer’s perception of the rooftop garden play an important role for economic as well as ecological benefits. Rooftops garden thus ages in cooling effect the down area interesting singly these gardens help midrates noise as a wall. The combination of plants and social absorption reflect and deflate sound waves and provide a building with considerable noise reduction. Vertical gardening to gardening of the risers balconies or window sills, hydroponics, aeroponics, gardening in self watering buckets bags sacks, creates, boxes, pots, gruels, gardening edible gardens act are all different inactivates taken to alleviate hunger and multinational problems, recent innovation in urban technology promote space and waste management. Environmental pollution happened due to rapid urbanization and industrialization of urban areas. The benefits of rooftop gardens are environmental benefits, providing a conventional green roof, making roof cooling systems and water management systems. In some cases availability of responses will not compensate for the effects of harsher climates and water scarcity. Increases in the intensity of conflicts between agriculture and the natural environment may also limit the extent to which adaptation is possible. This necessitates appropriate framing practices which minimize pollution of the surrounding environment. All levels of people can cultivate on the rooftop. Conservation of endangered plants, nursery, control of environmental pollution, ecosystem service, these are the important opportunities of rooftop farming. A wide variety of new approaches have been developed for effective and urban methods of urban waste utilization in vegetable cultivation and adoption of appropriate water management systems Including use of water from urban liquid wastes. Rooftop farming lung runs strategies of urban sustainability.
