There's tons more that can be adapted to a vertical tower.Return-Path: <tpj@life.ku.dk>
1 .Greywater wetland filter
2. I call them shelf mushroom window boxes that reach out three feet more.
Fire escape.
3. I think that tower can look more like nature to mimic what's beautiful and functional
4. Each person on each story would have their own garden patch.
5. you also should be looking from the top for the IRS coming
6. you start your seedlings where the sun is, up in the sky.
7. your turn.

IF climate change and population growth progress at their
current pace, in roughly 50 years farming as we know it will
no longer exist. This means that the majority of people
could soon be without enough food or water. But there is a
solution that is surprisingly within reach: Move most
farming into cities, and grow crops in tall, specially
constructed buildings. It=92s called vertical farming.
Its a nice idea to add this type of eco-living-food production =20
system but to say
that will be all that's left after 50 years is absurd and =20
depressing. Obviously the author is tapping hotbutton issues
and lacks any real interest in bio farming or agriculture in =20
general, probably knows very little about same.
