I completely agree that farming needs some serious overhauls, but I am not sure this is the best way, or that it is even possible in the near future. The idea of growing food close to where it is needed is nice, but I am skeptical about the rest. I seriously doubt any companies ability to clean fully a cities waste, so that the carbon could be burnt and the water used by the plants. People flush so much junk down the drains, something would have to start getting into these plants. If they are using mussels to filter the water, then what happens to all the mussels that are dying from all the cocaine and draino in the sewer systems, and are people going to want the equivalent of coal power plants releasing exhaust into the city. And I gaurantee there are other chemicals needed by plants besides nitrogen, and where are we getting those from. We are probably refining them from petroleum or mining them from the earth in some distant location. Don't just get swept up in this ask the right questions. What about vertical farming in dirt that uses sound, age old methods. We could still use human waste and let it compost with other organic waste naturally over longer periods of time that could actually break down harmful chemicals
