Vertical Farming

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the high-rye's-buildings dept.

SolFire writes "The BBC is running a look at the potential for Vertical Farming in the Big Apple, a concept that promises to reduce the environmental impact of farming and increase the efficiency of food production by building multi-story farm complexes in urban areas. The vertical farm is envisioned as a self sustaining complex of greenhouses stacked on top of each other. More details can be found on the project web site."

    A more elegant solution would be to trade the family cow for some magic beans.
