TOPIC THAT YOU HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT IS “the relationship between class/socio-economic conditions and food access. And if you can focus more on ways to improve food access and make more households food insecure better will be really good”. (this is the sample of rough outline that you have to do.) it doesn’t have to be the same though. It’s just for you to have the idea of how to do it. Agriculture is Growing Up: VFs Are Now Green Economically and Environmentally Vertical farms are a feasible and more environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional farming because of the comparatively small amount of precious resources they require. a) Available freshwater and usage. I will explain how little freshwater there actually is on earth: b) Explain how anthropogenic factors like runoff and pollution are causing the water supply to rapidly shrink: c) Provide information on when we will run too low and include projections of a future with very little freshwater: , including international conflict over water resources: d) Share informa

tion about vertical farm water saving potential (closed loop system and how the utilization of VFs can prevent this because they need very little water a) Prevalence: b) Direct link to bodily harm ~ cancer and other health problems: c) Cause ecosystem degradation and poor soil quality, which disrupts natural ecosystems d) Explain why vertical farms don’t need pesticides and herbicides. VFs are indoor which eliminates the need for pesticides and herbicides, and hydro and aeroponics provides plenty of nutrients for the plants without fertilizers a) Amount produced by traditional farming b) Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gasses c) It will only get worse with the current trends of urbanization a) Provide basics of climate change c) Feasibiltiy of horizontal farming a) Countering the argument that VF is expensive: b) Thriving companies who engage in VF: c) Pink houses: d) Dynamic angling: a) No weather-related crop failure b) Year-round growing season c) Reduced transportation costs d) green, sustainable, logical solution
