到2050年,全球将有七成的人居住在都市,城市必须供养70亿人口。如果用传统的土壤耕作,还需要增加一整个巴西的耕作面积,才有可能养得活这么多的人,但是高楼林立的城市里,哪里生得出这么多土地呢?如果城市能够盖出摩天大楼,有可能盖起摩天农场吗?为了解决城市粮食供应的问题,垂直农场应运而生。 城市垂直农场把水平的农场,改造成种满植物的摩天大楼,用营养液代替土壤,用LED灯取代阳光,这些彷佛科幻小说的情节,在各领域专家的努力下,正一步步成真。垂直农法在密闭的空间种植农作物,压缩了空间,让效益极大化,除了节约土地,也节约用水量,用水仅是传统土壤种植的十分之一。可以楼上种菜,楼下卖菜的垂直农场,也大大缩短了食物里程,减少食物长途运送的资源浪费。 垂直农场发想者的本意,是解决全人类的问题,然而这种耕作方法现阶段仍有个无法克服的致命瓶颈,就是生产成本太高,目前只能为少数阶级服务,奢侈品是无法养活全世界的。全球人口最多的城市,有四分之三分布在亚洲,这些亚洲的大都市,无不全力支持垂直农场的发展,因为比起其它地方,他们分秒必争。

Jane Austen remains one of the greatest writers of all time. Almost two hundred years after her death, her novels such as “Pride and Prejudice” and “Mansfield Park” continue to entrance generations of readers the world over. This film shatters any assumption that Austen herself lived the elegant Regency life of her financially comfortable heroines who ultimately find their true love. Instead it reveals the real Jane Austen as part of strata of Regency society much crueller in its treatment of women and harsher in its economic realities than her novels and their current television adaptations convey. And it discovers a woman more tragic in her own personal love life who does not enjoy the “happy ending” that she bestows upon her own female characters. Through readings and dramatic reconstructions, The Real Jane Austen pieces together the reality of Austen’s existence her modest upbringing in Hampshire as one of seven children of a clergyman; her disappointment in love; and the family’s poverty following the death of her father. Through her writing Jane found financial independence without having to marry. Tragically only four years later in July 1817 while writing “Persuasion” Jane Austen died. Filmed in locations associated with Austen including Jane’s birth place of Steventon and her later home in Chawton, and illustrated with extracts from film and television adaptations of Austen’s work, The Real Austen paints a vivid portrait of one of the greatest talents in English literature.
