Overfarming + Global Climate Change = radical reductions in worldwide food production. Where will we grow the food we need to eat? Dickson Despommier argues that urban farming in skyscrapers are the future of food. A few days ago in the New York Times, Despommier presented his idea for vertical farming in skyscrapers. In the videos below he elaborates on that vision and how it fits into the city of the future.
Growing food indoors is not a new idea
Imagine rice paddies spread across the rooftops of New York… “imagine how much food we could grow if we just stuck inside buildings?”
How vertical urban farming can transform the city of the future “Everybody should get the same amount of food. Everybody should get the same amount of water. Why is that a privelege rather than a right?”
