The only vertical farming I see as part of a sustainable future is Agroforestry. As for the rest of vertical farming, their wastefulness becomes even more evident once one considers that the nutritional profile of its production is often comparable (or even inferior) to that of weeds.
For an alternative framework (rather than an alternative technique) take a look at Agroecology http://www.srfood.org/en/report-agroecology-and-the-right-to-food?fb_locale=pt_BR http://www.srfood.org/en/report-agroecology-and-the-right-to...
- giltleaf 11y agoI share your enthusiasm but see vertical farming as part of a new urban agroecology to incorporate into buildings rather than taking up acreage by themselves. I think the technology is being developed for mixed use buildings.
