This series will explore the job of vertical farmers in the future and how humankind will fit in to a future world order dominated with the technologies we created. We explore how "human activity" will be taken over thereby rendering the jobs of today and obsolete relic of the past beyond a century in our distant future.

Years and centuries into the future, we will be experiencing a great and revolutionary change to the way we live, how society works and how humankind as a whole will see themselves. Our world has been shaped by different periods of technological growth and progress from the Neolithic Revolution to the Industrial Revolution. Exponential growth in population and rapid advancement in manufacturing, production and consumption coupled with the rise of automation, artificial intelligence and robotics will transformed human society fully-integrated with our own mechanical wonders.

In the future, a new agricultural revolution will change the way we farm, produce food and even the way we eat as population skyrockets and natural resources strained. Arable lands will become scarce, irrigation will reach its breaking point and crop yield will likely drop. What's the solution? Farm vertically through hydroponics, greenhouses and hybrid crops.


Smart technology will increase agricultural productivity even in highly-dense megacities as rooftops are transformed into climate-controlled greenhouses. Air and water recycling will reduce the dependent for fertilizer and irrigation. Vertical farmers will be the most sought-after professions in the future as many will be needed in far-flung space colonies to provide the needed food supply to transplanted inhabitants in Mars and beyond.

Do you want to become a vertical farmer in the year 2030?
