No To define what vertical farming is To show the examples of vertical farms Fresh greens can not be naturally grown in some regions Despommier Skyscraper Do people really need new ways of food production?

Vertical farming is considered to be the future of agriculture environmental and public impact The world's natural resources such as fresh water, soil and land are limited Only 0.5 litres of water is required to rotate the 1.7 ton vertical structure. The water is contained in a enclosed underground reservoir system and is recycled and reused. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/12/1209_051209_crops_map.html Pasona O2, Tokyo In the absence of natural sunlight or weather conditions, Pasona O2 relies on state-of-the-art technology to maintain optimal growing conditions. A variety of sun lamps provide customized lighting conditions while the air temperature is controlled by computer. In all, Pasona O2 raises around 100 regional crops. Do you think our school canteen should have more greens in its menu? № Sky Greens, Singapore Do you have greens in your diet? To analyze the impact Uses up to 98 % less water Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, the method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent Promotes restoration of damaged ecosystems Terms To make a survey among students .skygreens.com/technology/ Less food miles due to local production
