Vertical Urban Farming


Here's a mindshift for you - imagine a 30 story farm, just down the block. That is Dr. Dickson Despommier's vision.

Local produce, sustainable farming.

This is more than a futuristic idea from an academic with too much time on his hands. This project has legs and a price tag of about $84 million along with an attractive proforma.

The vertical farm has attracted the attention of several global corporation and universities. Paradigms are changing.

Sky farming offers efficiency, high quality, diversity, locality and sustainability.
