	Above this is a large transparent tank where freshwater fish are farmed. In the middle of the structure, plants are grown in water rather than soil. An ‘aeroponic’ system sits nearer the top where plants are grown in a misty environment using minimal water and no soil. The very top of the tower houses water tanks and wind turbines.

	The practice says that, should the tower ever be built, it could be ‘easily scaled’ and a 10m high version could be constructed in a school, or an 80m version built in a larger urban area. It could also be adapted to warmer or colder climates. The upfront costs of Skyfarm are higher than standard industrial agriculture, but the structure allows year round produce without air-freighting produce from other countries.

−	Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners ~~says~~:	+	Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners said: “By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth’s population will reside in urban centres. Over the same period of time, the earth’s population is expected to grow by an additional 3 billion people. If we continue to use traditional farming practices, it is believed that an area of land larger than Brazil will be needed to feed these additional people.”
