Whereas the number of people living in cities worldwide is continually growing, the already scarce area used for growing food and resources has been steadily shrinking.
This disparity, however, can be partly bridged by urban farming, the practice of growing food in cities and urban areas. Fraunhofer IAO has published a study investigating how cities could benefit from locally grown food and resources, looking at indoor plant and microalgae cultivation.
Safeguarding the long-term supply of food and resources to urban areas is a growing challenge – particularly in densely populated cities with limited access to surrounding agricultural land. Furthermore, intensive farming practices and heavy use of chemicals are putting increasing pressure on natural resources and land.
Algae farming is tough sledding.

Sorry, hadn't logged in for AC comment above.
I assumed this was about food security because it usually is when the idea pops up here. Micro nutrients are not food security

TFS quote with my emphasis. Doesn't seem to me they pretend they can feed everybody with bean-sprouts from the fridge.
