saw an interview this morning about this guy who wants to lower food costs utilizing farming in urban areas to provide quality food to these "food deserts"

Sounds like a great idea but your link has been removed so I was unable to see it.

I've been to Growing Power. They literally have layers and layers, isles and isles of plants growing in a huge greenhouse. They have a system that sends water flowing through the entire place constantly. It's a very well-regulated indoor ecosystem. They even have fish. Some of the plants grow on top of the water. They use insects...just about everything. I was stunned at how huge the place was and how much they actually grow there. They told me that everything was edible, so I could pick anything I wanted to during the tour and eat it lol.
