Summary

"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 nature's grocery store--imagine the world of the vertical farm. When Columbia professor Dr. 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"--Back cover
