バイエルさんのインスタグラム写真 - (バイエルInstagram)「Empty shelves, lines of shoppers waiting to get into grocery stores, worried people panic-buying – scenes from the novel #coronavirus pandemic have suddenly made us aware of how fragile the supply chains for everyday items that we assumed were secure can be in times of crisis. In order to feed the world in the #future, there need to be new solutions for #farming. One such solution is #urbanfarming. This cultivation method offers a whole range of advantages: In fact, a single vertical farm can grow 4 hectares (10 acres) — or roughly five Olympic-size swimming pools — worth of food on less than half a hectare of land, making it ideal for urban areas and in preserving space for biodiversity (by relieving pressure on natural fallow land that otherwise would be turned into farmland, thereby aiding wildlife conservation). #VerticalFarming also helps to meet the increasing need and desire for locally-grown produce. Local production eliminates long-distance transportation from producer to consumer, while also reducing #food loss along the journey and food waste. Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and mushrooms : These crops thrive in the controlled microclimates of the fields on each floor - free of the harsh extremes of #climatechange and seasonality. Correspondingly, these urban farms promise higher yields.」8月26日 20時53分
