Vertical Farming beckons. Let's say the world takes to it over the next 50 years. We'll benefit, and well, have to buy it.

Considering

• Capital investment is a huge issue even with UF with returns spread over a long period
• Fossilisation, replenishment of water, soil (natural) preservation, oxygenating of agricultural lands may take a beating.
• Cities may probably heat-up more, but the homes get to be cooler when you have mini-farms set-up. Apartment and kitchen farming isn't all that new, anyway.
• Sustainability of a farm is a matter of dropping a bomb over it.
• Actually, their geographical positioning isn't an issue, just that the local sufficiency of the urban becomes easier.
• But ex-agro lands of the rural may spin off industrial spaces with all those implications
• Green cover loss activists will be upto a lot of work, as well as the left/socialists
• The logistics of traditional farming get centrifuged
• Desert lands get revived?
• Grocery prices get customised as much as the growing according to the Food Pyramid?
• Hydroponics rocks.
• The ecosystem gets effectively exploited without damage?
• Infrastructural problems are bound to arise, unlike the traditional
• Dickson Despommier
• The farm flowchart is impressive

And, there lies my interest and call.
