Skyscraper greenhouses will be able to feed the citizens

Modern megacities are great for agriculture. At first glance, this is a completely paradoxical statement. But scientists from Columbia University do not think so. In their opinion, skyscraper farms can be built in the center of cities. This is a fairly promising idea, given that the entire population of the Earth is gradually moving to the cities, so that the planet turns into a huge metropolis . In 2050, 80% of earthlings will live in cities. But even in the future cyberpunk world, someone will have to grow potatoes ...

Scientists from Columbia University have developed the concept of "vertical trusses" with glass walls and a complex water supply system. Such a building would be an ideal greenhouse in the center of a superheated metropolis.

In urban farms you can not only grow different types of crops, but also breed small livestock.
