Description

A scientist in Stuttgart is researching how farming will be done in the future. He wants his fields to be stacked up rather than to extend across the plains. It’s hoped the concept known as"Vertical Farming,"will provide more arable surfaces to grow crops to feed a burgeoning world population.Several working groups are tackling the project around the globe. They are trying to raise rice, grain or lettuce in fields stacked in the third dimension. Architects like the idea as well. They are already trying to design multi-story pig farms, so get ready for pigs in the penthouse.
