Résumé

By 2050, the world population will rise to 9.7 billion, and two-thirds of the world’s inhabitants will reside in urban areas, according to a forecast by the United Nations. This calls for innovative farming because history shows that without the green revolution techniques of the 1960s, an additional area of 1761 million hectares megahectares would have been required to attain the same agricultural output, and thus these techniques have avoided the emission of 590 gigatonnes of equivalent carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, the classical techniques of industrial agriculture are actually inducing massive environmental degradation, such as soil erosion, habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Paradoxically, the promising solution to these issues, vertical farming, is also intensive though it is also ecological in many aspects. Here, we discuss the potential synergies of vertical farming and wind, solar and hydrogen fuels.
