From the article--
"Hunger could be the 21st Century's most urgent problem."
"If massive increases in agricultural yield are not achieved, matched by massive decreases in the use of water and fossil fuels, a billion or more people may face starvation."
Dutch "precision farming" produces "Twice as much food using half as many resources" with farmers reducing "dependence on water by as much as 90 percent."
In the article, is the featured beautiful sea of greenhouses farm a glimpse into our agricultural future on a worldwide basis?
Could such farms serve as a hedge against the cold of the predicted grand solar minimum?
