| Vertical farming (9) | |
Several experimental vertical farming projects like Dr. Dickson Despommiers at Columbia University are in various conceptual and experimental stages of implementation.
The concept of vertical farming that I envision has been framed around the idea of creating both below-surface and above-surface silos serving as vertical greenhouses for the production of food.
This includes a greater emphasis on urban agriculture such as vertical farming which, properly designed and planned, could provide the sustainable means to improve food supply we need.
Vertical farming is promising because it requires no soil, and can save space and energy and improve crop yield.
The cost of growing Vertical farming s biggest limitation is energy consumption. Considerable energy is required to power a closed, indoor greenhouse facility s artificial lighting, heating and cooling
Vertical farming: A natural extension of urban agriculture, vertical farms would cultivate plant or animal life within dedicated

Vertical farming s biggest limitation is energy consumption. Considerable energy is required to power a closed indoor greenhouse facility s artificial lighting heating and cooling and hydroponic or aeroponic growing systems.
