Editorial Comment: Many believe that vertical farms and indoor growing are more resource-intensive than open field farming. Could be. I asked one of the principals of Freight Farm a year or so ago if they had maximized their operations for energy efficiency and was told no. This debate will continue until the indoor growers do all they can to operate as energy and resource efficiently as possible. It may be that they can become less energy and resource intensive than open field farming but we’ll have to wait awhile to be certain. Most haven’t even yet begun that process.

Editorial Comment: I remember visiting NYC gardens back in the 1970s when the Green Guerrillas were just beginning and urban gardening was “new.” I remember the Purple People and Banana Kelly and the Bronx Pioneers, the small dome Buckminster Fuller helped the Brown Berets build for a garden near Houston Street on the Lower East Side. A lot of people worked long and hard to make gardens, food, growing plants part of the urban fabric and the education of our children. Thanks.
