Hi Will

Farms should consider vertical aeroponic farming for much of what is grown. Using renewable energy to drive climate control, LED lighting, and vapor pumps in greenhouses could be the most efficient farm method. The "aero" ponic system uses a vapor mist of nutrients to oxygenate and feed the root systems of plants potted in a non-soil media made of coconut fibers. The indoor, pest-free, well-lighted growing allows for multiple harvests yearly. Many plants go from seedling to harvest in just 3 months. This can work for many plants except grains which still demand huge acreage to produce the volumes needed.
