We need more of this and less of the archaic AG subsidies.
Consumers are coming face-to-face with one of the climate’s most significant impact on the environment – the food we eat. More frequent extreme weather events are disrupting agricultural production. Crop yields are increasingly vulnerable to heat stress, droughts, floods, and pests, leading to reduced harvests and lower food availability, ultimately affecting the entire supply chain.
One solution to the growing uncertainties of food security is vertical farming. Through advancements in technology, robotics, and AI, we have the ability to develop, grow, and harvest crops vertically in warehouses.
Perhaps Bowery is reimagining the fresh food supply chain. But the real question is: is Bowering turning a profit? I don’t think that energy intensive, high tech stuff can compete with traditional dirt in the ground.
Good thing for pickers there’s no more bending over! That should reduce the back injuries quite a bit.
