Underground farm planned for Tokyo


Tokyo residents are used to going underground to find food at basement supermarkets and restaurants but now one firm is taking the process a step further by planning a subterranean farm.

A 1,000 sq metre former bank vault under an office building in central Tokyo has been chosen as the site for a high-tech farm growing lettuce, tomatoes, herbs strawberries and rice, the Asahi daily said on Sunday.
