Vertical Farming

The Future of the City: Vertical Farming

Article about a possible future for farming. Buildings dedicated to growing food.

"'vertical farming,' a practice based on the belief that producing fruits, vegetables and grains on farms located atop skyscrapers can reduce global warming, save space, while generating clean energy and water."
