[…] and share prices of these companies increased between 2010 and 2019. Yet our research reveals that this is the result of unsustainable management strategies. Foreign expansion, acquisitions, vertical integration, cost-cutting and de-leveraging have all allowed companies to bypass the natural capital constraints imposed through the decline in production and…

[…] needs.” Cultivation in soil on a rooftop typically is limited without significant restructuring of the roof, often making it infeasible, Costello explained. For this reason, hydroponic or vertical farming systems may be preferable. Hydroponic systems are best suited to produce leafy greens, such as kale and lettuce, and herbs.…
