Urban Agriculture : the Rise of Vertical Farms | SLICE EXPERTS | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Video Description

Very soon, big cities will have to address a considerable challenge : feeding 7 billion citizens without harming natural resources. In Europe, North America and Asia, with the concept of urban agriculture, experts already try to limit the distance between production and consumption places. But tomorrow, this system won’t be enough to ensure a comfortable food supply. In order to thoroughly transform today’s metropolises, an environmental science professor once had a dream : buildings that would be capable of sustainably producing great quantities of fruits and vegetables. His vertical farm concept has met a great success : if such agricultural skyscrapers have not been built yet, a new generation of scientists looks forward to using all available technologies to make the dream come true.
