As part of my daily feed of information, I usually read about 3 or 4 articles from HowStuffWorks.com. There's usually something interesting to learn about.

I just read their article on vertical farming. Not to admit to being easily swayed, but it does sound like a pretty fancy idea with plenty of benefits that could potentially improve the way we live today. Although it's somewhat frightening to think that one day most, if not all, of our produce might come out of buildings instead of outdoor fields. On the other hand, people may not really care too much. In the future, we might just think back to traditional farming as a "remember when?" topic. Besides, do you think humans are capable of making agricultural foods as good, if not better, than mother nature? I guess we already do with even today's agricultural know-how.
