““That might be good news for landlords but not for the world’s farmers, who have finite cropland to feed a growing global population. The answer: build up by farming vertically. Valcent is pioneering a hydroponic-farming system that grows plants in rotating rows, one on top of another. The rotation gives the plants the precise amount of light and nutrients they need, while the vertical stacking enables the use of far less water than conventional farming. But best of all, by growing upward instead of outward, vertical farming can expand food supplies without using more land.”
How much is it true?

It’s only a matter of time til vertical agriculture takes over in rundown urban spaces. When vertifoods begin to win consumer sympathy through our ever increasing need to feel Green, I’m sure the emergence of a new farming category will take off.
