a windowless industrial building outside Copenhagen is being transformed into Europe's largest vertical farm.

Crops will be grown from 14 stories of scaffolding stretching from floor to ceiling, with a purple hued led light replicating the sun's rays.

Anders Raymond is the founder of its developer, Nordic Harvest, and says it's a way of producing food all year round without costing the earth.

You can harvest 15 times on the same footprint.

Compare to a farmer who only can harvest twice a year on the same footprint.

We do not harm the environment, and we do not emit any carbon.

We use 100% power from windmills, which by definition is you two neutral.

And because we produce everything inside, we don't put any fertilizer into streams, waterways or the ocean.

In 2016, over a third of the Earth's land was used for agriculture, according to the World Bank, But a quarter of that has been degraded.

 Developers of the vertical farm are aiming for an annual production of 1100 tons next year.
