To evaluate the scope of the vertical farming concept in the building levels of the future Indian cities. And thereby to analyze how well this concept can integrated be into the urban to sow the seeds for the future and to resolve the long-standing paradox of humanity’s inclination towards exponential demographic and economic growth while inhabiting a planet of limited resource material means.

1. “Future Of Vertical Farming In India”
Architect – Kukku Joseph Jose

2.  FUTURE ?

3.  EVOLUTION | PROCESS | FUTURE

4. THE EVOLUTION

5. THE PROCESS

6.  TIME | ENERGY | RESOURCE

7.  RESOURCE = LAND

8. A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ?

9. SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
 THE PROPORTIONATE USE OF OUR
RESOURCES

10. BREAKDOWN OF GLOBAL LAND COVER

15.  WHY INDIA?

17. HUMAN APPROPRIATION OF NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION
CREDIT : NASA
This figure shows the global distribution of resource consumption as measured
by the amount of net primary production (NPP) appropriated by humans. Global
annual NPP refers to the total amount of plant growth generated each year.
Plant growth may be measured in terms of grams of carbon used to build stems,
leaves and roots. The darker areas on the map indicate greater appropriation of
NPP by humans.

18. PERCENT OF NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION APPROPRIATED BY
HUMANS
CREDIT : NASA
This figure shows human appropriation of net primary production (NPP) as a
percentage of the local NPP. The map provides insight into the percent of plant
resource used by people in an area compared to the amount of plant resource
that is actually available locally.

19.  So the challenge is :
 “How we can maintain the highest possible
production of food and fibre while still preserving our
biological assets in the face of global change”

20.  This is can be done only by better management of
Earth's rich biological heritage .
 For the better management we have to understand
patterns of consumption, and how the planetary
supply of plant life relates to the demand for it .

21.  Understanding the patterns of supply and demand is
critical for identifying areas of severe human impact
on ecosystems and planning for future growth.

22.  And the INDIA is coming under that regions with
greater demands than available plant-derived
resources.
 Thus this regions like INDIA may be more vulnerable
to climate change and other socio-economic impacts
in the near future.

23. PROJECT:
 To Design and Develop a Model that can support
and feed 45,000 people in a Sustainable fashion.

24. MAJOR FINDINGS :
 60% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WILL BE SETTLE
DOWN IN URBAN AREAS BY 2030.
 MODERN AGRICULTURE PRACTICE WILL BE THE
LARGEST CONSUMER OF LAND,WATER AND
ENERGY OF THE PLANET.

25. CONCEPT

26. CONCEPT ILLUSTRAION

28. PROFILE OF THE TOWN

30.  THE IDEA WAS TO CREATE A
NEW LAYER OF SOCIAL INTERACTION
BY PROVIDING SUSTAINABLE LINKAGE BETWEEN
THE SCATTERED URBAN FRAGMENTS FOCUSING
INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURE .

31.  THE VERTICAL FARM BUILDING ALONG WITH CITY
CENTER WILL ACTS AS A CATALYST FOR THE
[ INFRACULTURE : AGRICULTURE ]
CONCEPT
AS IT PROVIDES FOOD, EFFICIENT USE OF WATER,
ENERGY AND MOREOVER IT CATERS THE MAJOR
REQUIREMENT OF A TOWN AS A
RECREATIONAL CENTER WITH A CONCEPT OF
(LIVE+WORK+RECREATE) WITHIN THE
CONVENIENT TRAVELLING DISTANCE OF THE
OTHER MAJOR ATTRACTIONS OF THE
DOWNTOWN. .

32. PROJECT AIMS AND GOALS:
 1. To Design a Model that will comfortably feed the City of 45,000.
 2.To Design a building that caters a Vegetative and non – Vegetative
programme.
 3. Organic Poultry and Fish Farming in an ethical fashion.
 4. Zero emissions.
 5. It must convert gray and black water to drinking water.
 6.To conserve the environmentally important areas.
 7.To ensure the social welfare and security of the society. (
Recreational spaces, Civic amenities, Housing )

33. DESIGN FEATURES:
 PEDESTRINISATION OF THE URBAN CORE.
 TO CREATE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY LIKANGES TO THE
MAJOR ATTRACTIONS OF THE DOWNTOWN.
 CITY CENTER TOWER CATERING UBRAN FARMING.
 LARGE SCALE VEGETATIVE AND NON VEGETATIVE
URBAN VERTICAL PROGRAMME .
 ECO PLAZA AND RETAIL MARKET STREET.
 ECO CIRCLE STREAM AND RIVESIDE WALK.
