Very interesting. I didn't read through all the articles as I got caught up in one that was aquaponics which is a big interest with us and alot grows vertical with that. Indoors in a skyscraper though... that is such a great concept. Would be nice not to worry about all those ecoli problems arriving at your local grocer.

Actually, you know what happens when the filtration system in the water recycling system is not properly maintained.

Hmm.... thanks for that comment. I'm going to look for more reading material on that. I didn't realize that fish caused ecoli. Other bacteria yes, but I thought ecoli contaminate in fish came from outside pollution into the waters. But even so it still seems to me like it would be easy to control such things from happening in a controled enviornment.

One question I had was about pollination. With such a mass operation inside an enclosed structure how would they do that. I didn't see anything written on that.

Sorry, didn't mean to infer that E. coli infestations would occur. Plenty of other nasty things can happen. My concern is that while the pictures and artists renderings are of responsible implementations, I believe that actual implementations will be a lot more like current "factory farming" of animals today.

Did you use one of those online translators?!
