Farming in skyscrapers?
It’s a novel concept. It’s an intriguing concept. It’s a bold concept. It’s called skyfarming. Check out the Vertical Farm Project. Popular article here.
And another variation on this them here and here (Valcent systems).

I think Frank Lloyd Wright envisioned something similar with his idea for Sky City.
Valcent is where you can see further progress on this concept. We are vertically growing today! Our vertical farms are up and operating in our commercially sized unit based out of El Paso Texas. Please feel free to come visit the company’s blog to learn more, and contribute your thoughts if you wish.
Skyscarper agriculture has yet to be proved successful in an full size model. Vertical farming is successfully being produced realistically in large greenhouses. These are the steps toward locally grown produce which will help our economies stay self sufficient, economically stable, as well as healthy!
