For the past century, mankind has been wary of the rapid depletion of natural resources. The growth and spread of cities has given birth to new, radical proposals of sustainability; among them, Urban Vertical Farming. The concept of growing food on vertical high-rises has stemmed from a crucial necessity. Proposals vary from mixed-use buildings which incorporate farms to acupunctural urban insertions. Although mized use farming schemes may not be the best example of organicism; projects such as Agriculture 2.0 by Appareil It consists of a generative system for the design of the infrastructure for urban vertical farming, which can be used in any city of the world. The product consists of a parametric model which can be inserted into the urban fabric and uses The climatic conditions of the city in which it is to be inserted, The area of the city, in m², to be covered in vegetable production, and The specific site on which the tower is to be constructed inn order to produce the local design for the vertical infrastructure. If this type of strategy gets implemented into society, it will radically change the way cities and maybe countries are organized.
