vertical farming part IV


I beat up on vertical farming in a post a while back, but since I don't hold much stock in originality, I'm happy to do it again. A vertical farm has opened in Singapore. See article here.

I don't expect this to be a trend, and I'm not sure that the farm in Singapore will be a widely copied model. It will enjoy status as a niche market and people will pay more for its produce because it will have a unique quality. The country has some very rich citizens who enjoy making statements. Like all things architecture.
