Vertical Farm Initiative

http://www.verticalfarm.com/index.html

While not without its caveats, this site extols the virtues of vertical farming as one solution to food security. Syracuse, for example, does not have the requisite density to sustain a vertical farm - nor is it beneficial due to the areas of underutilized land both in/outside the city; however, there are many interesting projects and strategies presented under the "projects" section of the site.

See also the Interview with Steven Colbert - who interestingly enough asks poignant (if comedic) questions on the issue.
