I have a roof-top area of 1,400 sq feet. There, at this moment, I have 5 ducks (giving 3 eggs daily), 3 chickens (giving one egg a day), 20 tomato plants, and few shades of bean tree. Plants of pumpkins, guava tree, lemon tree and other spices (herbs) too. I also have have 6 pigeons and 6 cats. My question is: Is there any suggestion to make these activities more sustainable? Like any yearly planning, crop selecting etc.?

You're my last stop. I'm tired. Was watching a real estate progam the other night, and just happened to come across a rooftop garden. In this picture it looked like a long burlap bag filled with soil, but when they were done with it, it looked like they rolled it up! They were planting everything in it. If you can help me with this search, I would be very thankful.
The closest thing that comes to mind would be a rool-out garden, which is basically a roll of compacted soil that you roll out, water and grow. There are different types available depending on your needs. It could also be an earthbag garden that was constructed (which could work on rooftops too).
