The vertical farm will contain rows upon rows of crops with the capacity to produce 365 harvests of high quality leafy greens per year. "From day one it's perfectly controlled...We don't use pesticides...there's nothing to wash off, it's usually not touched by human hands ever, and so we have a safe clean product that is ready to eat right out of the package."

Research shows rising temperatures since 1960s have acted as handbrake to agricultural yield of crops and livestock

AI-controlled vertical farm produces 400 times more food per acre than a flat farm, National Geographic recently predicted that by 2050, there would be more than two billion additional mouths to feed By 2050.

The findings demonstrate the feasibility of using see-through solar panels in greenhouses to generate electricity. “We were a little surprised—there was no real reduction in plant growth or health,” says Heike Sederoff, a professor of plant biology at North Carolina State University and co-corresponding author of the study in Cell Reports Physical Science. “It means the idea of integrating transparent solar cells into greenhouses can be done.”

Are you considering buying a piece of land to build your dream home? There is a lot to know when you're buying land. One of the common questions people ask is how much is an acre of land and how much is an acre of land worth.

With each step, Zeke’s boot disappears from sight, swallowed by a lush canopy of grasses and clovers. He jabs his walking stick through the foliage to gauge its height. ‘’Bout ready for turn in,’ he thinks, taking a minute to soak up the scene – buzzing bees, chirping birds, a babbling brook full of trout. At the end of the valley, he sees his neighbour in chest-high waders flicking his fishing rod in a slow back-and-forth rhythm, and wonders how the new cattle-crossing is holding up in the creek.

Great Britain's greatest green thumbs break records every year.

Each year, billions of animals are slaughtered to put food on our plates. The animal welfare and climate change implications of this are well-documented — most animals are factory-farmed, and global meat production accounts for 14.5 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions.

Agroup of doctors is urging the White House to stop the ‘detrimental’ impact of animal agriculture. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is a nonprofit organization featuring 12,000 physicians including Dr. Neal D. Barnard.

Amid Congressional investigation and federal, state and private antitrust cases, all eyes are on Big Tech. The step up in antitrust enforcement against the digital technology behemoths and their alleged abuses of market power is, by all accounts, good news. Successful cases could restore competition, which would benefit smaller businesses and American consumers alike.

It sounds too weird to be true, but engineers at MIT have developed nanotechnology which can be embedded in plants.

Last month we reported that a huge vertical farming operation near Copenhagen in Denmark recently completed its first harvest. That setup uses hydroponics, but the veggies grown in Vertical Field urban farming pods take root in real soil.

India's "plantain man" has traveled widely to build a collection of unusual varieties.

Plenty's vertical farm in San Fransisco uses 99% less land, 95% less water, recycled plastic packaging, and is powered by renewable energy.

The cost of the climate damage caused by organic meat production is just as high as that of conventionally farmed meat, according to research. The analysis estimated the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from different foods and calculated how much their prices would need to rise to cover the harm they cause by fuelling the climate emergency.

Henner Schwarz, CEO of German firm &ever, said that his company's new indoor vertical farm in Singapore will produce 1.5 tons of "leafy green" produce per day.

The FDA has approved genetic modifications to a pig whose body doesn't make a component that can trigger allergies in people.

Big Agriculture’s artificial insemination is abusive. Most states have rewritten old laws to absolve it—but some haven’t.

"If you have several thousand hogs packed in together and they're all genetically largely the same, that selects for the most virulent pathogens."

Scientists have discovered that feeding seaweed to cows significantly reduces the amount of methane they produce and burp into the atmosphere, while also helping them produce more milk and grow bigger on less feed. When grown in the ocean, seaweed helps to filter the water, making the idea of farming seaweed to feed to cows a win-win for the environment and farmers.
