Within sustainable production, produce quality and safety are essential features. However, methods, requirements, conditions and even legislation for produce quality and safety in production in rural areas cannot always be directly transferred to production in urban areas and on rooftops. This chapter describes features of produce quality, produce safety and safety hazards in urban rooftop farming employing various technological solutions and serving various purposes in different climate zones. Sustainability is discussed in terms of product quality and safety, and requirements to resolve the principal issues are presented.

The ongoing developments in the electricity market, in particular the establishment of the Prague Energy Exchange (PXE) and the associated transfer from campaign-driven sale to continuous trading, represent a significant change for power companies. Power producing companies can now optimize the sale of their production capacities with the objective of maximizing profit from wholesale electricity and supporting services. The Trading Departments measure the success rate of trading activities by the gross margin (GM), calculated by subtracting the realized sales prices from the realized purchase prices and the production cost, and indicate the profit & loss (P&L) to be subsequently calculated by the Control Department. The risk management process is set up on the basis of a business strategy defining the volumes of electricity that have to be sold one year and one month before the commencement of delivery. At the same time, this process defines the volume of electricity to remain available for spot trading (trading limits).
