1. A Combined Vertical Farm, Biofuel, Biomass, and Electric Power Generation Process and Facility in a closed system, which incorporates the automated production of biomass and food that can be optimally transformed into biofuel and electricity as desired, which is comprised of:

  • a. The process flow beginning with the production of plants in vast arrays of continuous conveyance loops.b. Optimized vertical conveyance loops of potted plants.c. Optimize vertical conveyance loops which transport plants in the closest possible proximity to one anotherd. Optimize vertical conveyance loops which approximate the same planar distribution of plants normally associated with the unit ground space while gaining a multiplicative advantage in productivity as a result of multiple tiers of plants circulating from the ground up and back down vertical towers.e. Optimize vertical conveyance loops which can index at regular intervals such as each minute, hour, day, week, or month depending on the particular species'"'"' growth versus time, the number of total plants in the tower, the height of the tower, and the rate at which the conveyance loops are indexed.f. A vertical growing apparatus, or “

    Modular Vertical Farm Cell”

    (MVFC) that has been fully described in a separate patent application by the same author of this invention.
