Time has a cool slideshow and interesting article about vertical farming. See the article for a focus on the now, like this experiment in El Paso:

Even if theyโ€™re not always the most efficient, youโ€™ve gotta love those Savonius turbines on topโ€ฆ

Please share in the comments any details on actual, operating vertical farming setups youโ€™ve found.
