Vertical Farming

Time has a cool slideshow and interesting article about vertical farming. See the article for a focus on the now, like this experiment in El Paso:

Even if they’re not always the most efficient, you’ve gotta love those Savonius turbines on top…

Please share in the comments any details on actual, operating vertical farming setups you’ve found.
