Skyscraper concept relocates China's farms to the clouds
• dvice.comThe concept structures are called Farmscrapers and they function pretty much exactly as the name suggests, as towering, multi-tiered farm enclosures. Callebaut envisions a complex of six towers full of green spaces all working to reduce carbon emissions, as well as the need for food to be transported into the city from the countryside. The designer also believes the elevated farms could serve as hubs of self-contained ecological sustainability by recycling local liquid and solid organic waste to nourish the plant life in the towers.

Forget all this game-playing nonsense with big architectural structures. We are talking about a simple people living simple lives.
