How will we feed the megacities of the future? Vertical farming offers a compelling answer. This book explores the technology of stacked, indoor farms that use hydroponics and LED lighting to grow food with 95% less water and no pesticides. It examines the potential for these farms to increase food security, reduce transportation emissions, and create green jobs within urban centers.
This is agriculture reimagined for an urban planet. The text assesses the economic and logistical challenges while painting a vivid picture of a future where skyscrapers don't just house people, but also feed them.
