Vertical Farming in urban centers works. This company is doing it today and their amazing systems will start showing up all over the USA in the next couple months: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6ASKVl4XRQ

was that article about farming in Detroit or was it a biography of John Hantz?
I live in Detroit an currently farm 1.5 acres. Last year I quit teaching to farm for a living. It pays the bills for me and others are doing significantly more large scale urban farming(there are over a dozen half to 3 acre farms selling or sharing food in our city).
No we are not Walmart sized but significant, in fact that’s the best thing about it -that we are not a big box thing…we’re a movement, a mosaic, a group of growers regenerating our broken city!
I thought David Whitford would have seen that since he was here in Detroit.
