The Future of Indoor Farming

Where I live has recently been devastated by flooding. This natural disaster decimated many farms, orchards and vineyards, deeply affecting the social and economic fabric of the region. It’s uplifting to see many of the orchards where I live begin to repair the infrastructure so they can plant again while the future for other growers is still uncertain. With climate change, perhaps farming indoors needs to be considered a more sustainable and efficient method of growing some types of food. Concepts like vertical farming (food grown in stacked layers or vertically) allow fresh food to be grown near big urban areas, reducing transport costs and carbon emissions.
