Dickson Despommier and Vertical Farming.

Tonight's The Colber[t] Repor[t] Stephen had Dickson Despommier on to discuss vertical farming. And, dare I say it, this adds one more option to reform the agro-industry. The land use would be, obviously, very small [less than five percent depending on height] and wouldn't even require much if any soil [hydroponics] while also offering an environment more easily controlled and pest free without damaging the environment.
