Aerofarms – The future of urban agriculture
From their website:
AeroFarms provides aeroponic technology and comprehensive business expertise to those pioneering the future of urban agriculture. The world’s current food system is unsustainable economically, environmentally and socially. Today’s rural and centralized food production uses a vast amount of resources—land, water, transportation fuel— which will become increasingly scarce and expensive as world populations grow and continue to urbanize. At the same time these resources diminish, demand for food will increase, requiring current food production levels to double by 2050 to support the world’s population. We need a better way.
AeroFarms believes that we can transform our food system to be more sustainable, efficient, and secure. We envision a system of decentralized, urban farms that produce fresher and safer food at the point of consumption. While this movement has started gaining traction, in order to make great change, we need to expand beyond community and rooftop gardens into commercial growing. We have dedicated ourselves to developing the technology to realize this vision.
In the days and weeks to come, we’ll be blogging about a wide range of topics, from sustainable agriculture to innovative salad recipes. We believe in the open exchange of ideas and welcome any questions or suggestions. Please join us in pioneering the future of urban agriculture!
