Faversham may have been, The isle of thanet is no longer an island Tenterden -once part of the cinque ports.

I'd recommend checking out Thanet Earth for an example of indoor agriculture that's proven itself, vertical farming just means building it up a bit.

Some of them best tomatoes I've ever had came (in winter!) from Thanet Earth, a massive indoor grow op in Kent, England.

The idea of indoor agriculture is not, however (just look at Thanet Earth), and there is an advantage of building up a few floors and using grow lights to supplement the loss of passive lighting.

However, if you look at vertical farming as a series of low-rise greenhouse warehouses ringing a city, like a lightly stacked up Thanet Earth, then I think there's a strong case for them.

Green Houses (Thanet Earth) are designed to trap the Sun's energy.

Sainsbury’s often stock UK-grown Thanet Earth tomatoes (look for “jubilee vine tomatoes” etc) which are some of the best I have found at normal prices, especially out of season.

Thanet Earth has already shown that indoor agriculture is competitive, and as we run out of arable land, and as shipping costs increase, it becomes more so.
