Dividing Lines: Does vertical farming work?
Vertical farming – put your crops into a high rise building, maybe based on hydroponics so they take up less space and you control the climate. Is this the way forward to eliminate poverty?

Guy Clapperton chairs in this debate in the Dividing Lines series, sponsored by Diffusion PR.
