We presented on the Vertical Farm today -- and the insights during and post-presentation are fascinating.
The kinds of things that we were thinking about... how does food grow naturally? As we're talking about the vertical farm concept, which employs hydroponics as the method for growing food, it comes out that growing plants in water doesn't seem very 'natural.' But really, is industrial agriculture 'natural'?
While growing crops in urban skyscrapers seems a bit out there... so would have the idea of sitting here with a laptop typing out my thoughts for people around the world (that I may or may not know personally) to read fifty years ago. So would have the idea of taking with you 3,000 tons of steel powered by oil every place you go two hundred years ago. And so on... those things that at one point in human history were unthinkable but now seem so 'normal'... what's to say that the vertical farm isn't the same?
