Many environmentalists pushing for increased population density on to farmland, the landscape that urban sprawl is less sustainable and more damaging to the environment they live in cities where cars are no longer needed because food and other necessities are given to walk away. However, another theory has to ensure that sustainable or eco EcoCities connect villages, housing and agriculture, to the proximity between producers and consumers, it can offer more sustainable.

The use of available city space (eg, roofs and gardens in the community) in food production is another form of cooperation to achieve more sustainable.

One of the latest ideas in sustainable agriculture includes relocation of production of food crops of large farms to large factories, urban, vertical and technical facilities farms. The advantages of vertical farming are year-round production, isolation from pests and diseases, controllable resource recycling, and local production that accounts for the need for transportation costs. While a vertical farm yet to become reality, the idea is gaining momentum among those who believe that the current methods of sustainable agriculture is not sufficient to treat is a future world population of 8 until 11 million people.
