In recent years, the rapid growth in the urban population (1) __________________ a decline in agricultural land. How can we manage our urban environments to sustainably grow food One novel answer is vertical farming. Essentially, the idea is that city tower blocks can provide plenty of space for growing crops if they (2) ____________________.
Vertical farming uses urban spaces for the highest possible crop yields. It promotes soil-free systems, which require no pesticides, so the farming method is eco-friendly. As an added (3) _______, farmers can grow crops all year round in this artificial farming environment without worrying about abnormal weather, which often leads to crop losses. (4) ______ for urban areas, vertical farming has taken off in many countries, where the view of buildings “growing” green leaves provides a refreshing contrast to a concrete jungle of offices and flats. For instance, Singapore, with a population of about six million and an area of only about 720 square kilometers, (5) _______ many vertical farming zones.
