Wie so oft liegen die wirklich großen und umwälzenden Ideen eigentlich ganz nahe: Warum nicht mitten in der Stadt viele Gewächshäuser übereinander bauen, mit einem geschlossenen Nährstoff- und Wasserkreislauf? Lebensmittel könnten so auch an den unwahrscheinlichsten und unwirtlichsten Orten regional produziert werden, Arbeitsplätze würden geschaffen. Jeder hätte Nahrung - an jedem Ort der Welt. Lesenswert!
