…Much has changed in the way we as humans live now. The deserts have become dryer and vaster in many cases around the world. The effort to stop or slow down their spread has come too late to control it. The oceans and seas have also swallowed up shorelines. Some cities refusing to abandon their homes built anew in the swallowed meters of now water that was once the ground they walked on. The way the Bajua, once found off the coast of Malaysia have come in one manner or another alive- in the way people have started living on stilted homes in the water of what once was a coastal city.

​

      The skies and seas are filled with patches of them now. No matter where you stand in the city you can spot one of the floating greenhouse farms high above in the air. From the shores as the waves crash over your feet you can see the blimps of them out on the horizon line. Green among the blues of the sky and sea. Space was needed to produce food. New earth was needed to sow the crops that would sustain us. So, we went by looking to the skies at first. The mist of the clouds could be a solution to the freshwater shortages that we had begun to experience. With the clean air up so high as well it was a good place to start with floating greenhouse farms soaring above the ground. Of course, we knew what the clouds meant to different regions of the world so other methods needed to be made for those regions. We could not survive in a world made up of deserts due to the loss of cloud coverage. It was through the invention of being able to change the salty mist of the sea into fresh water that changed things. Now we could float our farms far out in the sea and begin to grow in large quantities that would be able to help in keeping up with the demand for food that had been so large for far too long. The solar powered drones do most of the work on the farms. They monitor the plants and through a series of sensors and can determine what the plants need in order to thrive and survive till harvesting. Through a mixture of the different farming methods such as vertical farming, hydroponics and calculated nutritional manures the greenhouse thrived. Even on these floating farms of the sky horizontal farming had become obsolete. Vertical farming had taken to the sky in the same way they had taken up height on the ground. Now they just continue their height of productions in the higher altitudes of the sky. Floating out on the ocean waters the farming stations grew plants that were genetically altered to be able to use the salt water to their advantage and not to solely relay upon fresh water. Plant genetics had come along way for such stations to be built. Out in the ocean, it is fully based on hydroponics and solutions of nutrition fashioned from both organic maters and synthetic sources.

​

      Even the profession of farming has changed, due to its new locations and heights. In a sense that NASA had once trained people for space exploration, farmers had to be trained to be able to work on the floating farms due to their altitude elevations. Professions overlapped in many areas now. The multitudes of cross overs in professions allowed for better production and execution of work done.

​

      The system is not perfect yet, but it is efficient in the way that there is no waste produced from the farming. Not every plant harvested can go on to be sold for human consumption, in the community of the world these plants that do not make it past the first stage are then passed on to livestock farmers as feed for their farm animals. The need to eliminate waste by all cost was a necessity to survive and as such certain things had to be put aside to ensure that waste was eliminated to guarantee productivity was increased to meet the rising demands of the population. People had learned from the global revolution that overthrew not only governments but corporations as well, that people came first before corporations and governments. It was the people that held the power…
