16 Advantages of Vertical Farming From Farms In the Sky(scraper) | Wired Science
Advantages of Vertical Farming
1. Year-round crop production; 1 indoor acre is equivalent to 4-6 outdoor acres or more, depending upon the crop (e.g., strawberries: 1 indoor acre = 30 outdoor acres)
2. No weather-related crop failures due to droughts, floods, pests
3. All VF food is grown organically: no herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers
4. VF virtually eliminates agricultural runoff by recycling black water
5. VF returns farmland to nature, restoring ecosystem functions and services
6. VF greatly reduces the incidence of many infectious diseases that are acquired at the agricultural interface
7. VF converts black and gray water into potable water by collecting the water of evapotranspiration
8. VF adds energy back to the grid via methane generation from composting non-edible parts of plants and animals
9. VF dramatically reduces fossil fuel use (no tractors, plows, shipping.)
10. VF converts abandoned urban properties into food production centers
11. VF creates sustainable environments for urban centers
12. VF creates new employment opportunities
13. We cannot go to the moon, Mars, or beyond without first learning to farm indoors on earth
14. VF may prove to be useful for integrating into refugee camps
15. VF offers the promise of measurable economic improvement for tropical and subtropicalLDCs. If this should prove to be the case, then VF may be a catalyst in helping to reduce or even reverse the population growth of LDCs as they adopt urban agriculture as a strategy for sustainable food production.
16. VF could reduce the incidence of armed conflict over natural resources, such as water and land for agriculture.

WOW, I Totally LOVE this idea of Sky Farming and Vertical Farming !!!****** =)
Ponder on this…On the same acre of land that cattle are raised, we can grow 20 times more food growing vegetables.
Now, say you have a one story hydroponic green house covering that acre, growing in ten layers inside it, that is 200 times more food.
Times ten stories = 2000 time more food grown on an acre than raising cattle.
Now, Imagine Ten of these Sky Farms in your City.
How about farmers that start to do this on a smaller scale on there farm. Say, one 3 story hydroponic green house covering a quarter acre.
This is Very GREEN, GREEN, GREEN !!!****** =)
Our Intent – More Organic food for the entire planet.
All of us knowing Greater Health, more Energy, more Concentration and Focus…living in a Higher Vibration…Imagine our New Environment.
