Farm Urbana was founded in 2014 by Ruth Meghiddo at Meghiddo Architects, with the vision for cities to become prosperous and sustainable.
Our clients are forward-thinking owners who value innovation and anticipate the rewards for advancing a healthy lifestyle amenity for their residents. We help them offer a desirable eco-friendly amenity with an aesthetic and efficient edible garden.
eco-friendly rooftops with 90% less water
Ruth’s passion for urban farming began decades earlier, as a student at UCLA. There, she published a pioneering thesis in sustainability, “Agriculture in Urban Environments: City and Farm Romance.” Her background in architecture and urban design inspired her to create edible garden solutions. She founded Farm Urbana to help urban residents experience nutritious, chemical-free, fresh food.
