More vertical farming

This concept recently won an award at the Evolvo Skyscraper competition. Called Dystopian Farm, the building itself is an organic looking thing (see poster).

I'm excited about vertical farms because they envision a partial solution to getting urban populations more involved in the chain of infrastructure that supports urban existance. And anything that can shorten supply chains, build redundancy and enhance diversity is something I am always interested in exploring.

Sky Farm!

This is an amazing concept that could transform urban living - the Sky Farm designed by Gordon Graff; a skyscraper greenhouse that feeds 40,000 people a year!

Update Feb. 17: Additional conversation at the Torontoist. See also my post from the same day on Vertical Farming.
