Urban Gardening

Two problems caused by increasing overpopulation in cities are how to use space productively and how to feed everyone. A new concept design suggests a means of addressing both these issues. Aprilli Design Studio's Urban Skyfarm is a tree-like skyscraper that provides space for crop farming.

Once thought of as an urban fad, the concept of growing produce in the inner-city has started to gain acceptance. But for Infarm of Germany, the idea of grow-your-own comes in the form of a translucent origami-like greenhouse, specially designed to grow those tiny baby greens known as microgreens.

Bitponics connects urban hydroponic gardens to the cloud for remote monitoring and control.
