Vertical Farming?
Given the constraints of arable land in many countries, and the intensifying urbanisation taking place across the world, what options are there for food production? The Daily Green features some exciting vertical farms that are grown on high-rise buildings, right in the city. Besides providing food for the people in the surroundings, it lowers transportation costs of food as well as provides cooling relief much like a vertical garden / green wall would. Looks quite exciting... I feature some of the more exciting and / or feasible vertical farms here. More detailed sketches of such vertical farms can be found here.
