Governor's School Topic

Post by binary010101 »

I'm applying to the PA Governor's School for the Agricultural Sciences (only science-related field open for sophomores!), and I have to write an essay on current issues in agriculture. Do any of you have suggestions?

City agriculture. The issue of developing agriculture that can be successfully grown in a skyscraper. I've seen designs for basically a greenhouse skyscraper that has floor after floor of agriculture so that we can "grow upwards" and therefore feed more people as the population of this planet grows too fast for its own good.
