  • The Vertical Farm: a Review of Developments and Implications for the Vertical City
    buildings Review The Vertical Farm: A Review of Developments and Implications for the Vertical City Kheir Al-Kodmany Department of Urban Planning and Policy, College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60607, USA; [email protected] Received: 10 January 2018; Accepted: 1 February 2018; Published: 5 February 2018 Abstract: This paper discusses the emerging need for vertical farms by examining issues related to food security, urban population growth, farmland shortages, “food miles”, and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Urban planners and agricultural leaders have argued that cities will need to produce food internally to respond to demand by increasing population and to avoid paralyzing congestion, harmful pollution, and unaffordable food prices. The paper examines urban agriculture as a solution to these problems by merging food production and consumption in one place, with the vertical farm being suitable for urban areas where available land is limited and expensive. Luckily, recent advances in greenhouse technologies such as hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics have provided a promising future to the vertical farm concept. These high-tech systems represent a paradigm shift in farming and food production and offer suitable and efficient methods for city farming by minimizing maintenance and maximizing yield. Upon reviewing these technologies and examining project prototypes, we find that these efforts may plant the seeds for the realization of the vertical farm. The paper, however, closes by speculating about the consequences, advantages, and disadvantages of the vertical farm’s implementation. Economic feasibility, codes, regulations, and a lack of expertise remain major obstacles in the path to implementing the vertical farm.

    Acknowledgments This publication is an update and expansion of the 1987 Cornell Guidelines on Perennial Production. Informa- tion in chapter 3 was adapted from a presentation given in March 1996 by John Bartok, professor emeritus of agricultural engineering at the University of Connecticut, at the Connecticut Perennials Shortcourse, and from articles in the Connecticut Greenhouse Newsletter, a publication put out by the Department of Plant Science at the University of Connecticut. Much of the information in chapter 10 about pest control was adapted from presentations given by Tim Abbey, extension educator with the Integrated Pest Management Program at the University of Connecticut, and Leanne Pundt, extension educator at the Haddam Cooperative Extension Center at the University of Connecticut, at the March 1996 Connecticut Perennials Shortcourse, and from presenta- tions by Margery Daughtrey, senior extension associate in plant pathology at the Long Island Horticultural Research Laboratory, Cornell Cooperative Extension. This publication has been peer-reviewed by the persons listed below. It was judged to be technically accurate and useful for cooperative extension programs and for the intended audience.

As if the evil Loki himself were at his heels, the boy raced through the old town's tangle of narrow lanes and down its tumble of steep alleys, his sandals pounding the uneven cobbles, the icy air hurting in his chest, his breath coming in rapid, painful gulps. Already the twelve bells of the Fane had ceased pealing, and Great Edwyn swung alone, making the air, the houses, and even the ground shake with his thunder. The boy quickened his pace; snow-feathers were beginning to tumble all around him again, and last night's fall was already hard-packed on the pavements, making the boy skid sometimes on corners, making him whirl his arms extravagantly to keep balance. In the town square he slowed, drawing long, deeper breaths. His cloak was of lined brown cotton in double thickness and tightly belted, but now the icy air struck sharply on his bare legs; he paused by a workmen's brazier, going as close as he dared, until his skin burned and tingled.

  • Ululv-Z95 Public Disclosure Authorized
    Ululv-Z95 Public Disclosure Authorized TRAINING EQUIPMENT LISTS IN FOOD AND AGRICULTURE Public Disclosure Authorized VOL I: Itemized Equipment Lists by Main and Sub-Areas FAO/WORLD BANK Cooperative Programme Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized FOREWORD From time to time doubt has been expressed concerning and, the vaLu,,e, indeed, the wisdom of preparing equipment lists such as those to which this preparatory note is attached. To solve this doubt a special task force was appointed in 1976 to consider, among other matters relating to equipment and its procurement, whether to continue to prepare and to issue-these lists and, if so, how they could be improved. The task force was unanimous in its decision to "carry on" and recommended the extension of the existing lists to include equipment required for training up to higher technician level. The task has proved to be arduous and, especially in the field of industrial tech- nology, is far from complete despite the considerable lapse of time which has taken place since the task force commenced its work. A quick glance at the size of the agricultural lists and the different types of training covered will give evidence of the immense amount of time-consuming work involved. While the lists are necessarily detailed it cannot be too strongly emphasized that they are to be used as "guides" rather than as "patterns" which must be uniformly accepted. This is especially true at the post- secondary levels where courses and equipment must reflect local needs and practices. I would like to point out some of the salient features of the lists: new 1) in general, equipment descriptions and prices have been separated in order that the latter may be periodically changed without need to reprint the whole document; 2) coding systems have been adopted relating descriptions and prices where separated: in the case of the agricul- tural lists the code numbers also indicate the nature of the course concerned i.e.

  • LESSON 1 MATERIALS and EQUIPMENT Aim Identify a Range of Horticultural Materials and Equipment and Sundries. in Order to Run An
    LESSON 1 MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT Aim Identify a range of horticultural materials and equipment and sundries. In order to run an efficient enterprise the horticulturist requires a range of materials and equipment that will help to complete jobs efficiently and within a structured time frame. The equipment that is chosen will depend on the size of the operation and the amount of money available. A small single person garden maintenance operation for example may be able to run quite successfully with a minimal outlay for expansive equipment, a lawn mower, range of hand tools and an appropriate vehicle may be all that is needed. However a large nursery will require a much complex array of materials and equipment. No matter how large or small the operation is, the horticulturist needs to keep abreast of what is on the market and how this equipment can help to run a cost effective, efficient business. POWER TOOLS Power tools can make life much easier, but they can be expensive to buy and potentially dangerous to use. If used and maintained properly power tools can last for a long time, but be prepared to spend some of the time you save by using a power tool to maintain that power tool. Most power tools have parts which wear out and need replacing from time to time. Moving parts wear out but if kept clean and oiled and/or greased, the rate of wear can be kept to a minimum. Corrosion is another major problem, which will be greatly reduced by simply keeping metal parts clean and coated with oil.
