Topic Reading-Vol.425-6/10/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Can city farms feed a hungry world?
Any idea what’s urban or vertical farming is about? Unless people can harvest and distribute food more or at a faster pace than the population grows over the next few decades, there could be serious food shortages across the world when the world population is expected to grow nearly by two billions.
City planning has been separated from agriculture for so long but originally, they had been closely tied until recently. People used to eat what they could get from the neighboring producers, of course with much less carbon footprint.
Enjoy reading and learning about some ideas to use urban infrastructures to fill our stomach.
