Of course Mollison could say he wanted "vertical greenhouses built up the
side of skyscrapers", but obviously knew it would be a ridiculously
inefficient and unsustainable use of resources. And he did not promote such a
thing as being Permaculture, so let's not make it out to be something it
wasn't. No such idea surfaced in his books, to be sure. Point being, it
hasn't happened and isn't going to happen, and they're not about to change
zoning to allow rea livestock in the Stock Exchange. Net result: zero.

Food Forest sounds very worthwhile.
