Vertical farms located in urban centres could dramatically reduce the need to transport food over long distances and cut fossil fuel use. One variation on vertical farming involves growing plants in stacked trays that move on rails. It is more likely that food will be grown on urban rooftops. Vertical farms could produce crops year-round and greatly reduce diseases by making plants less susceptible to infections.
