The Rise of Vertical Farming
There are 7.4 billion people on the earth, and everyone must get feeding. What are the most effective and sustainable methods of achieving this goal? The traditional agricultural strategy has monopolized our natural resources, and is usually wasted and wasted and too strong for the waste of pesticides and other toxic pollutants, not too strong. Many regions do not have the means to produce their own organic food supply, and they must send them from long distances. In the next few years, when the world’s population continues to increase and feasible agricultural areas are disappearing, our planet may encounter the food crisis we have never experienced. The new VPRO documentary “The rise of vertical agriculture” has studied possible solutions.
Vertical agriculture actually reverses the daily agricultural model. Plants are no longer restrained, but stacked in closely controlled internal environments. These farms are hidden in abandoned warehouses, factories and office buildings, and can be built in cities around the world.
Industrialized agricultural technology has seriously changed the food industry, but they also help environmental poverty and extensive chronic diseases. As a result, the demand for fresh and local products is high. Vertical agriculture may be the key to meeting this demand.
Film producers have conducted some of these businesses from the United States to Sweden, including Aerofarms, the world’s largest vertical farm, located in New Jersey. These operations are meaningful to use ignored infrastructure and can increase the health of consumers with their services. Usually, only a few miles from large food dealers and sales centers, you can also take the travel span from a few days and weeks to from the farm to the plate to a few minutes.
The rise of vertical agriculture has made us conduct enthusiastic tour performances in the modern agricultural system, and the system is about to break through the mainstream. This is a social experiment that one day may become a complete industry that meets billions of dollars. The film realizes the power of soothing and inspires people’s hope of healthy and more sustainable future.
