When you think about vertical farming, I would like you to remember this amazing vision. Because it is not just another company pitch – it is the rationale for why so many people and businesses are seeking out new ways to do things, like how we feed ourselves, how we use land, and how we relate to the rest of the natural world.

It was the last paragraph in a story about a company that does vertical farming:

“We can give the world back — a lot,” says Storey. “We can give the world back land. We can give back the jungles of Borneo to the orangutans. We can give back the Amazon to the planet. We can give back the midwest to the buffalo. We can give back the things that we’ve taken. And we can be a lot less extractive.”
