These futuristic farms indicate the progression of our agrarian culture. These designs don't involve sprawling landscapes in rural towns; instead, they're skyscrapers meant for dense cities, or guerrilla initiatives for apartment-dwellers and those with limited space.
The recession and recovery has fueled an interest in cooking at home; similarly, the rise in interest for organic foods drives many to experiment with fruit and vegetable gardening. Accordingly, these futuristic farms may find a foothold in a city near you sooner than you think.
