520    When Columbia professor Dickson Despommier set out to 
       solve America's food, water, and energy crises, he didn't 
       just think big-he thought up. Despommier's stroke of 
       genius, the vertical farm, has excited scientists, 
       architects, and politicians around the globe. These farms,
       grown inside skyscrapers, would provide solutions to many 
       of the serious problems we currently face, including:-
       Allowing year-round crop production-Providing food to 
       areas currently lacking arable land-Immunity to weather-
       related crop failure-Reuse of water collected by 
       dehumidification of the indoor environment-New employment 
       opportunities-No use of pesticides, fertilizers, or 
       herbicides-Drastically reduced dependence on fossil fuels-
       No crop loss due to shipping or storage-No agricultural 
       runoff-And many more Vertical farming can be located on 
       abandoned city properties, creating new urban revenue 
       streams. They will employ lots of skilled and unskilled 
       labor. They can be run on wind, solar, tidal, and 
       geothermal energy. They can be used to grow plants for 
       pharmaceutical purposes or for converting gray water back 
       into drinking water. In the tradition of the bestselling 
       The World Without Us, this is a totally original landmark 
       work destined to become a classic. With stunning 
       illustrations and clear and entertaining writing, this 
       book will appeal to anyone concerned about America's 
       future.
