The development of biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and neurotechnology has once again brought one of the great questions of our time to the forefront: what it means to be human in an age in which the body and mind can be modified through technology.
Vertical Farming Future: Foods Without Fields is a comprehensive and rigorously researched exploration of one of the most consequential agricultural transformations of the twenty-first century — the emergence of controlled-environment, soil-free, artificially illuminated food production as a credible, commercially viable, and potentially civilization-altering response to the converging crises of population growth, climate disruption, soil degradation, and freshwater scarcity that are steadily overwhelming the productive capacity of conventional field agriculture.
