Technical Library - shelved at: B80 Long on hope and enthusiasm, short on providing a detailed plan for implementation. Despommier is an inspired guy and certainly an optimist. His ideas are good, but until something concrete (or glass and plastic as the case may be) becomes of the vertical farm concept, it will remain a fantasy. It is a very good concept though. This book discussed ideas that were theoretical but I would have liked to see more practicality. Although the topic is extremely important and potentially life-saving, discussing theories is not where we need to be right now. I understand the author probably hopes this book will inspire people to make prototypes but perhaps he would be better off designing and implementing smaller models of the vertical farm and then scaling it up to a level that is viable to support towns and cities. Dickson presents a reasonable concept of large scale hydroponics. He spends a great deal of time providing a history lesson and presenting why this would be a good idea. He spends less but some time presenting how this might be done. Basically his ideas on how this might come to be seem somewhat naive. I suspect that eventually vertical farming will become financially feasible, but until then it will not be taken seriously. I mildly recommend the book. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

When the author, a Columbia professor, set out to solve America's food, water, and energy crises, he didn't just think big, he thought up. His stroke of genius, the vertical farm, has excited scientists, architects, and politicians around the globe. These multi-story intensely managed indoor farms, grown inside skyscrapers, are capable of producing traditional greenhouse crops, as well as pigs and fowl, year-round. They would provide solutions to many of the serious problems the world is facing. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
