Pyramid Farm by Eric Ellingsen and Dickson Despommier Urban Farm, Urban Epicenter by Jung Min Nam The Dragonfly Tower by Vincent Callebaut Harvest Green by Romses Architects --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Product Description When Columbia professor Dickson Despommier set out to solve America's food, water, and energy crises, he didn't just think big - he thought up. Despommier's stroke of genius, The Vertical Farm, has excited scientists, architects, and politicians around the globe. These farms, grown inside skyscrapers, would provide solutions to many of the serious problems we currently face, including: allowing year-round crop production; providing food to areas currently lacking arable land; immunity to weather-related crop failure; re-use of water collected by de-humidification of the indoor environment; new employment opportunities; no use of pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides; drastically reduced dependence on fossil fuels; no crop loss due to shipping or storage; no agricultural runoff; and, many more. Vertical farming can be located on abandoned city properties, creating new urban revenue streams. Read more The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century
