Book excerpt: "The vertical farm is a world-changing innovation whose time has come. Dickson Despommier's visionary book provides a blueprint for securing the world's food supply and at the same time solving one of the gravest environmental crises facing us today."--Sting Imagine a world where every town has their own local food source, grown in the safest way possible, where no drop of water or particle of light is wasted, and where a simple elevator ride can transport you to nature's grocery store - imagine the world of the vertical farm. When Columbia professor Dickson Despommier set out to solve America's food, water, and energy crises, he didn't just think big - he thought up. Despommier's stroke of genius, the vertical farm, has excited scientists, architects, and politicians around the globe. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Despommier explains how the vertical farm will have an incredible impact on changing the face of this planet for future generations. Despommier takes readers on an incredible journey inside the vertical farm, buildings filled with fruits and vegetables that will provide local food sources for entire cities. Vertical farms will allow us to: - Grow food 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - Protect crops from unpredictable and harmful weather - Re-use water collected from the indoor environment - Provide jobs for residents - Eliminate use of pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides - Drastically reduce dependence on fossil fuels - Prevent crop loss due to shipping or storage - Stop agricultural runoff Vertical farms can be built in abandoned buildings and on deserted lots, transforming our cities into urban landscapes which will provide fresh food grown and harvested just around the corner. Possibly the most important aspect of vertical farms is that they can built by nations with little or no arable land, transforming nations which are currently unable to farm into top food producers. In the tradition of the bestselling The World Without Us, The Vertical Farm is a completely original landmark work destined to become an instant classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:  Do you want to start growing in the comfort of your own home ? Do you want to become self-sufficient in fruit and vegetable production? How do you grow plants without soil? You are in the right place....continue reading The secret of the hydroponic garden-and more generally of all hydroponic cultivation-lies in the use of water (or other types of alternative substrates to soil, such as perlite, sand, clay, etc.) in which the nutrients that plants normally find in traditional soil are dissolved. One of the advantages of the hydroponic garden is that it can be created anywhere, in any available area of the house, even in small, dimly lit spaces. Generally, when people talk about hydroponic gardens and gardening they tend to think that it is a very complex, difficult and expensive technique because it requires the use of supporting equipment. In reality, by optimizing your space and tools, you can create a much richer and more abundant hydroponic garden at home than you would with traditional growing, and without spending a fortune. With this book in your hands, you'll learn how to choose the best plants to grow and maintenance techniques for healthy, vibrant-looking plants. In this book, you will be able to: - Learn about hydroponic growing systems and equipment to know how to get the most out of your seeds and have the knowledge to choose the best for your needs and goals. - Know how to choose the right place for your garden to create a vertical green wall in your home environment in the best place for what you want to grow. - Achieving hydroponic growing ensures more sustainable, faster and quality farming because plants grow out of the ground in an environment free of pests and diseases. - Discover that growing hydroponically improves the quality and taste of produce because the system uses quality nutrients and clean water in a controlled environment without pesticides or herbicides. - Understand how hydroponics saves water. The efficiency of a hydroponic system can save up to 90 percent water. By using hydroponics, you will not only help protect one of our most significant assets, but you will also reduce the cost of your water bill, gaining a competitive advantage. ... and much more! It can seem very challenging to get started with hydroponics. Figuring out how everything works, how to choose a system, what to grow, and how to do it are all small challenges.But don't worry, the time you've been waiting for has come! This guide will give you everything you need to know about hydroponic growing systems, and how to start growing plants, herbs, fruits, and vegetables year-round with your own hydroponic system. By the time you finish reading this book, you will have a better understanding of what hydroponics is, what systems best fit your lifestyle and budget, and how to start setting up your hydroponic system. Order your copy NOW, put on your gardening gloves, and get ready to become a hydroponics expert!

Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction If you start a discussion on hydroponics with a person who is a keen and an avid gardener, he is going to say in a very blasé tone, “Oh yeah, you are talking about a gardening method which you are not going to use any soil at all. In fact, you are going to be growing your plants in water.” And he is going to be so right. Hydroponics is that gardening method, in which you are going to grow your plants in lots of water. This gardening method is normally implemented in places where the soil is not fertile enough to sustain plant life. I, being a practical doomsayer, predict that within the next 50 years plants are going to be grown extensively through hydroponics because we will have poisoned all the soil, with our chemicals, by then. The idea of hydroponics is not something new. I would not be surprised if in ancient times plants were grown in water, especially in places where one wanted to grow plants indoors – especially in palaces. By the way, a couple of years ago, archaeologists who were doing a little bit of digging in Egypt found some Lotus and water Lily seeds going back more than 2,000 years ago, in some pond excavations in a palace in ancient Egypt. Out of the 20 buried seeds found, which were sent to Kew Gardens London, three of them germinated, and so we have 2,000-year-old lilies, whose ancestors were collected by Egyptian princesses. The princesses in the palace collected the lotuses every day in the ponds and use them for religious rituals as well as adorning their rooms and persons. I do not think they went bathing in the scented waters, because they must have been really careful about the muddy and dirty waters, especially with natural organic fertilizers put in them to promote the growth of the plants.
