We really need to do something to save our Mother Earth. The idea of making our skyscapers and roof tops a gardening place is very interesting. It will really help to reduce pollution and global warming. The idea is great. We really need to do something to save our Mother Earth.

Don't wait for the government to help and oppose all regulations that the politicians would impose on this wonderful technology. Politicians currently support big business and in my country all farms are owned by corporations and sometimes are managed by farmers (but only in small cases, since agribusiness ventures prefers farm managers who are not tied to the farm's history). I am going to create a vertical farm of my own using computer technology with sustainable fuel source like wind, water, and sun. My goal is to start out at 3 levels and employ light bending techniques with fiber optics to garner as much natural sunlight as possible. The high cost of vertical farming being reported in the articles should be greeted with suspicion because my current estimate falls way below the reported numbers.

But we do love anything to do with skyscraper farming - even when pigs are involved. In fact, especially when the pigs - instead of being real flesh and blood animals - are adorable CGI pigs rolling around in the leaves, as shown in these 3D renderings!
