Here's a demonstration of vertical farming inside a freight container at Biosphere 2. The University of Arizona is partnering with Freight Farms to demonstrate the operational and financial viability of this idea. Greens like lettuce grow hydroponically with LED lighting (the red lights), and a "harvest" can occur every two weeks. Vertical farming can be implemented in urban centers, especially in areas where there is currently a lack of fresh food.

This is part of my Chinatown 2035 series. It's an urban farm that uses technology to maximize production.
England, North Yorkshire, aerial view, in the background is Drax Power Station, the UK's largest power station and a producer of renewable energy in the form of electricity from biomass while also developing technology called bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), a negative emissions technology. In the foreground is a second separate pioneering business of large greenhouses used for sustainable vertical farming of fresh salad produce.
Nordic Harvest grows sustainable and locally produced groceries in a 14 story high vertical farm.
Plants grow inside a hall with nurtured water. Light comes from LED-panels, and the air in the growth hall is added CO2. The plans get exactly the amount of nutrition, water, light and C02 it needs.
Nordic Harvest is situated in Taastrup at Copenhagen Markets.
Growing food in space!
Inspired by the real space stations, this imaginary minifig-scale space outpost is the place for all variety of crew members working together and expanding the human frontier- the moon, Mars, and beyond!
WELCOME to the NEW SPACE AGE!
Food cultivation is one of the most meaningful things anybody can do. I like this theme.
For people wondering why the planter is airborne, see here.
For people wondering why a soil analyser is needed for vertical farms, I'll think of something :)
To come : seaweed farming.

Part of the Sustainable Urban Masterplan for Shanghai, this image shows of the channels with pedestrian and slow traffic lanes on the right, and urban food gardens on the left. The channel transports water from vertical farm to vertical farm, cooling the city and being filtered through various plants and organisms along the way.
Two vertical farm buildings sit in the background, these farms supply sustainable energy, fresh water and food to 50.000 people in a range of one kilometer around their center. The open lower floors of the tower in the middle serves as a community garden, where residents can grow their own spices and specialty crops.

As citizens of a metropolis, Londoners feel everyday what population growth and urban centralisation mean. Two problems are the increased demand for real estate and for food. Looking for a possible solution, AWR organizes LOFT - an international architecture competition for the design of a new skyscraper on the Thames waterfront, a vertical farm. This means cultivating agriculture products in a vertical, energy self-sufficient structured inside our metropolitan. The concept was developed in 2000 by Dickson Despommier, in collaboration with various architecture firms.
LOFT requires the design of a vertical farm with residential use. As advanced as it sounds, the benefits of such a structure range from the continuous supply of agricultural products to the reduction of cultivated land, generating its own energy and contributing to the ecosystem's balance. The new tower would be inserted in the City's skyline, an extremely strategic site for public transportation and a strong demand for housing. The competition represents a chance to build a real vertical city, which may well include a plaza, shopping areas, and restaurants. Early registration begins in May 2011 and the winners will be announced in September, after the summer.

Part of the Sustainable Urban Masterplan for Shanghai, this image shows the central market place surrounded by four multi-program agricultural towers, otherwise known as vertical farms.
These farms supply sustainable energy, fresh water and food to 50.000 people in a range of one kilometer around their center. The open lower floors of the tower in the middle serves as a community garden, where residents can grow their own spices and specialty crops.
