This vertical farm in a 20,000-square-foot industrial warehouse uses no soil and minimal water -- and its technology lets farmers direct the shape and size of the plants they grow.
Hong Kong has more skyscrapers than any other city, so it's not surprising that just 0.6% of its land is farmed. The city currently produces less than 2% of the fresh vegetables eaten there — but one agritech startup wants to change that.
In a 20,000-square-foot industrial warehouse in Hong Kong's Tai Po district, Farm66 grows plants on stacked shelves under LED lights. Protected from pests and pollution, this indoor farm uses no soil and minimal water says Gordon Tam, co-founder and CEO of Farm66. What's more, the controlled environment allows the company to direct the shape and size of the plants.
