This supermarket in Montreal has a 29,000 square-foot rooftop garden where they harvest organic produce and sell it in their store.

IGA

But, they would have to employ workers to plant, maintain and harvest !

They're not going to be able to produce significant volumes of produce from just over 1/4 hectare but going by the comments on Reddit they also offer workshops to elementary and high school students, so a great initiative in an urban community.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea.
