With the continuous growth of population, food sources are shortening and there might be a tendency of starvation in the coming 2060, according to professors Dickson Despommier and Eric Ellingsen. As part of the advanced solution to the foreseen problem, The Vertical Farm Project that includes the Pyramid Farm was created. This advanced farming technique features urban farming and is intended to be a complete ecosystem. The pyramid farm will include a heating and pressurization system that will separate sewage into water and carbon into fuel machinery and lighting. It is also estimated to use only 10 percent of the water and five percent of the land.
