vertical farming

In recent years, Despommier has received considerable media coverage for his ideas on vertical farming.

Contemporary notions of vertical farming are predated by this early technology by more than 50 years.

Several potential advantages of vertical farming have been discussed by Despommier.

In comparison, vertical farming would cause very little harm to wildlife.

Moreover, the industry of vertical farming will provide employment to these expanding urban centers.

The project showcased a technological solution for vertical farming and provided a physical base to conduct research into sustainable urban food production.

Opponents question the potential profitability of vertical farming.

Some scientists have said that in the future, densely populated cities will use vertical farming to grow food inside skyscrapers.

An even more ambitious idea that's still largely in the conceptual and prototyping stage is known as vertical farming.

In order to maximize land use, vertical farming would take place in towering skyscrapers, possibly 30 stories high or more.
