In reply to nutflipped. Can you explain what you mean about "garbage" technology, and "gullible Arabs?"

I love vertical farming. It’s neat to hear about stuff like this in arid regions. Does recycled mist mean that this is a particularly water saving technology?

In reply to Abi Chua. So far as I could see from a brief googling-around when I was researching this story: no such study, but yes, that definitely occurred to me also. Because it is such a very different way to grow food. Let's stay tuned!

I wonder what is the difference of crops grown in aeroponics, hydroponics, and normal soil farming. Has there been a study to compare the difference in the nutrients of the crop?

The part about Eve is very interesting. Thanks for adding that.
