Excerpt:
A group of employees at Chongqing Meixin Group rolled up their sleeves and pants on Tuesday morning and waded into a paddy field on their factory building’s rooftop.
They were taking part in an activity that has been organized by the company for four years, with the aim of helping staff members decompress after long hours of work.
They caught fish and planted rice seedlings 33 meters above the ground at Happy Farm, a 20,000-square-meter ecosystem created by Meixin, a door manufacturer headquartered in Chongqing’s Nan’an district. The farm produces crops like rice, rapeseed and lotus root and also features a 1-kilometer artificial river teeming with fish and shrimp.
“Most of the crops on the farm are tended to by our staff,” said farm manager Liao Junli, adding that rooftop planting involves special cultivation techniques that utilize a thinner soil layer than traditional fields to prevent excessive loads on the roof.
The factory was selected as one of the fourth batch of “national green factories” by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2019.
