Crop-growing skyscrapers摩天大楼
第一段原文
By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the Earth’s population will live in urban centers. Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic人口统计学的 trends, the man population will increase by about three billion people by then. An estimated 10 hectares of new land (about 20% larger than Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming methods continue as they are practiced today. At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use. historically, some 15% of that has been laid wasted by poor management practices. what can be done to ensure enough food for the world’s population to live on?
