This thought is echoed by an article in Digital Trends, which said: "Agriculture has come a long way in the past century. We produce more food than ever before — but our current model is unsustainable, and as the world's population rapidly approaches the 8 billion mark, modern food production methods will need a radical transformation if they're going to keep up. But luckily, there's a range of new technologies that might make it possible."
How it works:
Quoting Digital Trends, "Indoor farms allow us to grow food 24 hours a day, protect crops from unpredictable weather, and even eliminate the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides. If these farms were built in cities, we could mitigate crop loss due to shipping and storage, and cut down on fossil fuel usage because food wouldn't need to be transported very far after harvest."
In his seminal book,
Despommier's visionary book explains how controlled environment farms will have change the face of this planet for future generations.
