As we all know, the worlds population continues to grow while land used for food continues to decrease. The choices that we have are that we need to rethink how we grow food, or starve.
The idea of tranplanting farms into city skycrapes continues to be talked about more and more. Doing this would use soil-free hydroponic farming to slash demand for energy and would produce more food. Farming on top of skyscrapers would also free up farmland and trees would not have to be removed. One of the biggest benefits of vertical farming would be that we would be able to grow food near where it would be eaten. This would help to cut both cost and emissions of transportation.
