到2050年,全球将有七成的人居住在都市,城市必须供养70亿人口。如果用传统的土壤耕作,还需要增加一整个巴西的耕作面积,才有可能养得活这么多的人,但是高楼林立的城市里,哪里生得出这么多土地呢?如果城市能够盖出摩天大楼,有可能盖起摩天农场吗?为了解决城市粮食供应的问题,垂直农场应运而生。 城市垂直农场把水平的农场,改造成种满植物的摩天大楼,用营养液代替土壤,用LED灯取代阳光,这些彷佛科幻小说的情节,在各领域专家的努力下,正一步步成真。垂直农法在密闭的空间种植农作物,压缩了空间,让效益极大化,除了节约土地,也节约用水量,用水仅是传统土壤种植的十分之一。可以楼上种菜,楼下卖菜的垂直农场,也大大缩短了食物里程,减少食物长途运送的资源浪费。 垂直农场发想者的本意,是解决全人类的问题,然而这种耕作方法现阶段仍有个无法克服的致命瓶颈,就是生产成本太高,目前只能为少数阶级服务,奢侈品是无法养活全世界的。全球人口最多的城市,有四分之三分布在亚洲,这些亚洲的大都市,无不全力支持垂直农场的发展,因为比起其它地方,他们分秒必争。
