Real Estate Sales Representative with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Toronto Realty

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.
