Farming in the Sky---Tiffany Sanders

This is called The AQUAPONIC MERRY-GROW-ROUND. The ideas of environmental scientist Dickson Despommier was to transplant farms into the cities skyscrapers. They are soil-free hydroponic farming that will be cheaper and safer for the environment and most importantly produce MORE food. Also by doing this they say that you can plant more trees in the farmland and that will increase oxygen and decrease the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They said that it would churns out nearly 14 percent of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions by having the food grown closer to the consumers and reducing the transportation of the food decreasing the pollution of trucks and cars.
