The Vertical Farm - ADVANCINGREENERGY

DR. DICKSON DESPOMMIER spent thirty-eight years as a professor of microbiology and public health in environmental health sciences at New York’s Columbia University, where he won the Best Teacher award six times. In 1999, Dr. Despommier seized upon the idea together with his students. After having grown tired of his depressing lectures on the degrading state of the world, his students finally protested and asked Despommier to work with them on a more positive project.

In 2003, he was awarded the American Medical Student Association Golden Apple Award for teaching. He has addressed audiences at leading universities including Harvard and MIT, and he has also been invited to speak at the United Nations. In addition, he has been asked by governments of China, India, Mexico, Jordan, Brazil, Canada, and Korea to work on environmental problems. Despommier lives in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
