Another thing to consider is hydroponics and aquaponics which I think fits in with the idea of a vertical farm. This website: http://cityscapefarms.com/soillessfarming/ explains it quite well. There is something called a "Science Barge" in New York which does soilless farming on small scale. Its interesting but I read a blog post that suggested its not really sustainable due to the amount of energy it requires. I really like the idea of a methane digester. BPS put out so much pollution in its day I think it would be fitting in our design to be tackling all aspects of air pollution.
