1 sq km of vertical farm + 1 sq km of sunlight collectors = worse in every way than 1 sq km of horizontal farm. And that's assuming perfect efficiency, which is wildly unrealistic.
- giltleaf 11y agoNot true if you count for the negative externalities of the horizontal farm and the fact that the vertical farm is producing way more food.
- cousin_it 11y agoDo you think 1 sq km of farmland causes more negative externalities than building and maintaining a skyscraper + 1 sq km of solar panels? That sounds really implausible, can you explain a bit?
