Vertical Pharmers

Problems such as world wide food shortages, drastic increases in farming expenses, natural disasters as well as sprawling urbanization have created demands for new and innovative solutions. Vertical farms or specially built high rise constructions designed for growing vast amounts food crops in the middle of urban areas will naturally take the place of traditional farms. New age farmers or vertical pharmers will not only increase food supplies, but provide sustainable crops all year around much closer to where the majority of the population actually lives. It has also been suggested that vertical farming could repair damaged ecosystems.
