Lindon commented on Daniel's question: “vertical farming could prove incredibly cost effective - imagine the end of "seasonal" foods, no exposure to disease, no pests (nor pesticide), no need for massively polluting infrastructure, and every single crop would be a bumper crop. Of course the vertical nature of the farm could extend in either direction, up or down. So if you're worried about colossal skyscrapers blocking out the sun imagine foods arriving from the ground via some sort of conveyer belt instead.”
