Architect Vincent Callebaut’s take on vertical farming is as interesting to look at as it is beneficial.

About the project:

The cities are currently responsible for 75% of the worldwide consumption of energy and they eject 80% of worldwide emissions of CO2. The contemporary urban model is thus ultra-energy consuming and works on the importation of wealth and natural resources on the one hand, and on the exportation of the pollution and waste on the other hand. This loop of energetic flows can be avoided by repatriating the countryside and the farming production modes in the heart of the city by the creation of green lungs, farmscrapers in vertical storeys and by the implantation of wind and solar power stations. The production sites of food and energy resources will be thus reintegrated in the heart of the consumption sites ! The buildings with positive energies must become the norm and reduce the carbon print on the mid term.

Hydroponics These days we went to a nice place, and there were some men at work, they set up this hydroponic garden. I am glad to see the people in Vietnam experiment with this technology. I mean imagine: Saigon is a 10 million metropolis and all the rooftops are all flat. Getting hydroponics popular would be an improvement for the local climate, air quality and food quality as well. Hydroponics is cheap, saves space and in the ideal case does not need herbicides or pesticides. You can even connect the hydroponic gardens to aquaculture and… Wow, I have visions :D And as usual if there is no corresponding article in my blogs, I ink the main url http://frankfox.eu Just because we can :)
