Update on Vertical Gardens


A week ago I posted information about vertical gardens on this blog.  I was pleased to find a comment to that post about future jobs as Vertical Farmers. 


The article that appears in the URL posted below begins by saying:

Vertical farms growing in skyscrapers in our cities could dramatically increase food supply by 2020. At Paignton Zoo, they’ve built one of the first vertical farms in the world. Science [So what? So everything] met Catherine Mortimer, head gardener at the zoo, to find out what being a vertical farmer is all about.

It's great to see vertical farming has become a reality. You should also watch this video of Robert F Kennedy Jr. talking about the huge benefits of Valcent's VertiCrop system: http://bit.ly/cPb00g
