PODCAST: The Future of Vertical Farming
An excerpt from Futurized:
In this conversation, we talk about whether indoor-grown food is equally healthy? How has the space of vertical farming merged? We discuss the demand for organic food, environmental concerns, soil quality depletion, groundwater depletion, and chemical pollution. Eddy explains the main distinctions and concepts, including Greenhouses, Hydroponics, Aeroponics, Aquaponic, Vertical farming, and the various growth vectors, such as a greenhouse, shipping container, skyscraper, or warehouse. We discuss sensors, climate control, LED lighting.
How do you define the vertical farming market? Who are the players? Which disruption forces are most actively influencing the field of vertical farming right now? How does he stay up to date?

We discuss high yield local food production in inner cities, near deserts, on islands, on in space, and beyond.
