Vertical farming

, 2013
De globale trend van bevolkingsgroei en verstedelijking leidt onherroepelijk tot meer vraag naar voedsel in de stad. Tegelijkertijd is er een trend in de vraag naar duurzaam en/of lokaal geproduceerd voedsel te herkennen. Het in de stad produceren van voedsel, Urban Farming, kan een antwoord bieden op beide trends.
