# Giant Orb Greenhouses Plantagon Urban Farms Will Supply Fresh Produce in Geodesic Domes By Bianca | Published 2009-07-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantagon References: [plantagon](http://plantagon.com/international/) The Plantagon is dome-like structure that offers insight into the possible future of urban farming. It's being designed for downtown cores like Paris that are becoming more eco-conscious of the future and therefore undergoing plenty of green renovations.

The Plantagon is a geodesic dome farm with an exterior shell made of glass which allows plenty of sunlight to come in to nourish the plants it houses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Geodesic Dome Farms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing sustainable and efficient urban farming structures using geodesic domes. - **Urban Farming Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative architectural designs for urban farming, such as geodesic domes and vertical farms. - **Eco-conscious City Renovations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating green infrastructures and sustainable solutions for eco-conscious cities like Paris. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating sustainable and efficient design principles into urban farming structures. - **Agriculture and Food Production:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Advancing technologies and practices in urban farming to ensure the sustainable production of fresh produce in cities. - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating renewable energy solutions into urban farming systems to enhance sustainability and reduce environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Urban Food Ecosystems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-sphere.md) - [Enclosed Vertical Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eco-1.md) - [Minimalist Indoor Gardening Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balconyfarm-pot.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetment-vegetable-cultivator.md) - [App Controlled Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydroponic-farm.md) - [Structural Smart Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantafrom-smart-indoor-garden.md) - [Haute Hydroponic Gardening Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-smart-farm.md) - [Aquatic Floating Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-marine-farm.md) - [Expansive Local Vertical Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onefarm-vertical-farm.md)
