P.F.1 = Public Farm 1

PF1 (aka Public Farm 1) is an installation slated for this summer at P.S.1 in New York represents a common idea as we move into the future... how close are we to the urban farmland?

"Could this be a glimpse of what could be in our city's future? We're looking forward to visiting PF1 (Public Farm 1 is the official name for the installation), and seeing how the project works when it's in an actual space with actual people and yielding actual vegetables. In other areas of the world vertical or step farming happens in the countrysides where terrain or flat space constraints (mountains) have necessitated this way of growing."
