A vertical farm would be a large‚ independently operating structure centrally located in a major city. It would feature two multi-storey‚ skyscraper-like buildings working together- one to manage food production with nutrient film techniques‚ and another to manage waste through living machines and generate

hydroponics are solution culture and medium culture. Solution culture does not use a solid medium for the roots‚ just the nutrient solution. The three main types of solution cultures are static solution culture‚ continuous-flow solution culture and aeroponics. The medium culture method has a solid medium for the roots and is named for the type of medium‚ e.g.‚ sand culture‚ gravel culture‚ or rockwool culture. There are two main variations for each medium‚ sub-irrigation and top irrigation. For all

Aero Hydroponics - The Method of the Future The aero-hydroponic method was developed in Israel in the early 1980’s. Dr. Hillel Soffer‚ senior researcher at the VoIcani Institute at Ein Gedi developed the aero-hydroponic method to overcome the challenges presented by the hot‚ arid conditions at Ein Gedi. The discoveries that followed the development of aero-hydroponics offer great benefits to all hydroponic growers. During a two-year period from 1986 to 1988‚ Dr. Soffer performed extensive research

Effects of Food Scarcity “Could Food Shortages Bring Down Civilization?” by Lester R. Brown Article Summary “Could Food Shortages Bring Down Civilization?” is a somewhat absurd but well written article. Lester R. Brown‚ the author‚ does a prodigious public favor in trying to wake the human race up to three facts: we must stop using hydrocarbons for transportation‚ burning coal for electricity‚ and stabilize the population which is predicted to rise quickly. It is a clear and dramatic statement
