Having enough fuel and energy is a world wide crisis. Scientist believe that a solution to this problem is vertical farming. Vertical farming is domesticating plants on the side of a building in a busy city. They came to this conclusion because of the lack of farm space and the abundance of skyscrapers. They also believe that it will be a great vision for the nomadic people of the city. So whats holding them back from cultivating the buildings? There are many problems holding back the creation of vertical farming. How would they get fertile soil on the side of the building and will they be able to have enough water to irrigate a 30 story farm. Money is also a determinant to whether or not vertical farming will be created. It will cost 40 thousand dollars to create, but will vertical farming make or lose profit?
I don't think vertical farming will work in our society, there are to many sedentary people to make this grand idea become a reality. We have allowed technology to take over the primitive world it was before. This is just another idea that will take money away from things that can be helped by it instantly. I don't think that people today will change the ways that there accustomed to for this drastic change. Al tough it may help the energy crisis, I dont think it will be enough to solve it.
