  3. Could the future of farming be indoors?:
    According to Despommier's theory, by as soon as 2050 the world will run short on land suitable for the amount of traditional farming that will be required to feed a growing population. Vertical farming, he argues, would make for more efficient use of the limited land. It also comes with a number of other benefits, including year-round crop production regardless of climate and a shorter distance between farms and consumers.

    In 2014, the Horticultural Research Institute established a “Horticultural Industry Bee & Pollinator Stewardship Initiative” with three primary goals. First, to convene a task force to develop a bee and pollinator stewardship program, including creation of best management practices for plant production. Second, to identify and fund research that will help answer key science questions and fill gaps needed to design and refine the stewardship program.

  6. Could the future of farming be indoors?

    Why vertical farming could be on the verge of a revolution.

    Caleb Harper ponders: Could the future of modern agriculture be found completely indoors? His new project to answer this question is called the the CityFARM project. A team of 15 researchers led by Harper can be found operating the project's small indoor vertical farm. The CityFARM team includes mechanical engineers, biologists, and architects. They manage pests, monitor water chemistry and grow produce such as tomatoes, leafy greens and herbs.

  8. Kevin Bacon and Eggs- They are thinking about using Kevin Bacon to be able to show about eggs and how nutritional they are. More people have been eating eggs and they are seeing how good they are and are wanting more. They are only healthy if they are actually cooked right.

    This could possibly be the best thing i have ever read. Despommier's theory is that hopefully by 2050 the world will run short on land that will be required to feed the population.He also thinks that Vertical farming could be beneficial to the next years.
