Vertical Farms

Whilst doing research for one of my modules "A world without oil" I came across the concept of the "Vertical Farm" although not new on my radar it has been brought up in a lecture before. However looking deeper into it I am finding the idea quite interesting and that more realistic in terms of urban growth.

According to Plantagon, their urban greenhouse



“…will dramatically change the way we produce organic and functional food. It allows us to produce ecological [resources] with clean air and water inside urban environments, even major cities, cutting costs and environmental damage by eliminating transportation and deliver directly to consumers.”
