The Vertical Farm by Dickson Despommier
Vertical farming can be located on abandoned city properties, creating new urban revenue streams. They may employ lots of skilled and unskilled labor. They can be run on wind, solar, tidal, and geothermal energy. This book is suitable for those who are concerned about America's future.
Dr Dickson Despommier spent thirty eight years as a professor of microbiology and public health in environmental health sciences at Columbia. His work on vertical farms has been featured on such top national media as BBC, French National television, CNN, The Colbert Report and The Tonight Show, as well as in full-length articles in The New York Times, Time Magazine, Scientific American, and The Washington Post. He recently spoke at the TED Conference, Pop!Tech and the World Science Festival and has been invited by the governments of China, India, Mexico, Jordan, Brazil, Canada, and Korea to work on environmental problems.
