Just found this idea of vertical urban farms a fascinating idea. Not sure how viable it is but it is definitely seriously clever lateral thinking, or should that be vertical thinking?

Hmm. Interesting idea.
Not sure about the Health and Safety implications of the design shown though. Maybe something a bit more along the lines of Gaudi's work on parks and public spaces? Perhaps we ought to start focusing on simple local permaculture first and swap a few of our lawns for veggie beds?
