By 2050, the Earth's population will be about ten billion.

of the steppes of Central Asia. We can no longer do this.
Scientists believe one solution to the problem is vertical

highly controlled environment. The vertical farms, which
will be in ^_in urban areas, will use new techniques,
such as hydroponics and aeroponics, allowing farmers to
grow plants without any' .
