Vertical Space as a Solution to Food Production in Urban Environments

It has become increasingly clear that moving toward a more sustainable agricultural system means finding ways to produce more of our food supply locally. Cutting edge research is being conducted aboard a barge on the Hudson River - research that hearkens back to the early days of such sustainable agricultural pioneers as the New Alchemy institute in Woods Hole Massachusetts and the Permaculture Institute in NH (here's a bit of interesting trivia - Stoneyfield Yogurt Founder Gary Hirshberg was one of the original founders of the Permaculture Institute in Wilton, NH.).
