Does this look like the Center for Urban Greenscaping in New York City? It isn't but it could look something like this if more people understood what it could accomplish...as in green jobs, green jobs and more green jobs.
This new Urban Corps recycling facility is in San Diego where I lived for 16 years. Something like this belongs in New York City. It could be private enterprise, non-profit or municipal.
Finished products could be used to create a combination edible and decorative demonstration garden on the roof.
I haven't done a business plan yet, but this is a map of the material flow. It could create new green jobs while educating, interns/students and the public about the benefits of edible urban greenscaping...as in food production.
I like your material flow map for edible urban greenscaping.

Thanks for the feedback I hope to make it a reality here in NYC in the near future. It's real world doable...and should be done in all cities.
