Futuristic vertical farm would grow food in the middle of the city
- 5 years ago
FRANCE — French design company Studio NAB has come up with the idea of creating a large vertical farm called the Superfarm to promote sustainable living.
The Superfarm would be six stories tall, with its topmost layer containing solar panels and wind turbines to produce renewable energy, according to its website.
Level 2 would feature an open terrace with plants such as ginseng, spirulina and aloe vera cultures.
Levels 3 and 4 would be dedicated to insect breeding and algae cultures.
The fifth floor would farm aquatic creatures such as trout and tilapia and young plant cultures, while the sixth story would contain a greenhouse that would include plants such as acai berries and goji berries.
Each floor would have a specific purpose and would work in unison with other floors to create a viable ecosystem.
The goal of the Superfarm is to "recreate an ecosystem in an urban environment,"according to Studio NAB's website.
This would allow customers to connect directly with product makers and have easier access to farms.
