I find this artcile on VF very interesting and informative. I have been following hydroponic cultivation for the last more than a decade and have also grown tomatoes hydroponically in simple systems. Now I also want to associate myself with VF. How can I contribute? Can you suggest.

The idea makes sense and has lot of potential for cultivation on nonarable land also. It would be possible to grow any crop anywhere irrespective of agroclimatic conditions without botheration of season. In one chamber you can create conditions of one region to grow crops of that area and in another for second area crops.

Most of China’s land is non arable land with the Gobi desert growing at an alarming rate. The accepted predictions of China’s population move into urban areas is 200 million people over the next 15 years. How will these people eat. Companies like this one are currently trying to solve that very imminent and real problem.

We are writing about this because vertical farming could be a viable solution for the Middle East. One could say that living in Canada or the Northern US states are incapable of supporting life too. Good thing there’s been a few decades of an endless supply of fossil fuels to keep people cozy and factories running – to support life.

Migrant workers move to regions of opportunity because they want more than bananas to eat…

Get real! Gee, let’s see. Let’s take a desert incapable of supporting life, now pack it full of laborers who come from fertile lands, and have to spend billions on fancy “science” to keep them alive!!

When will this nonsense end? And why are you writing about it??
