We are all aware that human population growth in particular at urban centres will impact future supply of food, our environment and the ecosystem. According Census, the Greater Toronto area grew by over 450,000 people between 1996 to 2001 to over 5 million people. How can we utilize the concrete jungles of urban centres to grow food?
The idea of doing intensive hydroponics agriculture in urban hi-rises, where the buildings recycle their own water, and produce their own power.
The concept of Urban Vertical Farming and Skyscraper Farming may soon change the concept of urban food production, where we will live and work close to inner city urban organic farm. The idea may seem far-fetched right now, but maybe it's time to get serious to turn vision into reality.
