Cities of Tomorrow, episode 1 - Vertical Farms

release year: 2015
genre: documentary
viewing setting: home streaming 1/17/25

synopsis: This series looks at ways to deal with the world's growing population and its needs - in this case, growing of food.

impressions: This was really interesting material, dealing with novel concepts (bringing the food production as close to possible to where the food is eaten, only harvesting what is needed to avoid waste, being able to focus on quality rather than durability of the food products) and implementation of those concepts (e.g. vertical garden-buildings in cities, hydroponics.) At the end, I found myself asking "it's been ten years...did anyone actually DO these things?"

acting: n/a but the narration and interview segments are well-voiced, well-spoken, and interesting
