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.

China’s acts of bovine intervention could help improve agricultural safety and allow the industry to become more self-sufficient.

A majority of farmland fertilizers consume 2% of the world's energy. Thankfully, a solution to the problem is much closer than people realize.

Wind power and geothermal heat aren’t enough to keep the world cool, according to a new study. Even if energy, transportation, and manufacturing go entirely green, emissions of greenhouse gases from the food system would put the world on track to warm by more than 1.5°C, a target set in the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

While China is leading the way in military uses for drones, it is facing a revolution of sorts in another sector. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles or drones in agriculture is expanding in China at a speed unmatched in other countries thanks to advances in autonomous navigation technology and the presence of competent operators, Nikkei Asia reported this week.
