Per Wall Street Journal, COVID has disrupted food supply chains. Shortages have emerged. Prices have risen. Crops have been dumped.
The future of cities is also in question. As more employees work remotely, less office space is needed and vacancies may rise. Impacts on city viability, businesses, landlords, investors, construction, other sectors could be big.
Enter vertical farms, a new approach to agriculture. Farms occupy multistory buildings and crops grow in water or misted air with LED lights. AI tracks performance, controls instruments, and provides optimal lighting. Farms can occupy vacant office space and simplify supply chains as food is grown near to consumers. Transportation costs are low. No need to worry about droughts, floods, pests or climate change as conditions are controlled and mostly automated. AeroFarms and Infarm are leaders in this space.
