âA world-changing innovation whose time has come. The visionary book provides a blueprint for securing the worldâs food supply and at the same time solving one of the gravest environmental crises facing us today.â--Sting
Imagine a world where every city has its own local food source grown in the safest way possible, where no drop of water or particle of light is wasted, and where a simple elevator ride can transport you to natureâs grocery store â imagine the world of the vertical farm. 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. In The Vertical Farm, he passionately explains the incredible impact of urban agriculture and how it will change the face of this planet for future generations. With this groundbreaking book, âDespommier has quickly become the central figure in what could be a worldwide revolution.â (Scientific American).
