During that discussion, Vertical Farming was discussed. I was entranced....and hooked.
Demographers estimate that by the year 2050, the earth will support 3 BILLION more people, mostly in urban environments. Viable farmland is shrinking, and natural resources are already thinning, which will make farming more costly, less productive and may be expected to lead to worldwide famine.
Application of vertical farming techniques may help alleviate the impending crisis.

What a great idea! Why not go up instead of out. We are already doing it with housing, why not farming? Posted April 01, 2008 |
