"AeroFarm is the future of agriculture"

With industrialization slowly eating up most of the world's agricultural lands, it can be said that we may not have enough farming lands to produce food in the future. That's why scientists are developing more ways to grow plants in the smallest of spaces possible, like the new technology of using soil-free vertical farms called AeroFarms.

AeroFarming employs indoor vertical farming technology. The company called AeroFarm said, "We grow delicious, nutritious leafy greens and herbs without sunlight, soil or pesticides".

They patented their vertical farming technology which aims to produce healthy crops indoors. The technology uses LED lights to act as the sun. The aeroponic technique is also used where no soil is needed to yield crops. They also use a special solution to aid in the crops' growth.

It looks like a lot of people are joining this advanced technological revolution. The Independent reported that a $39-million AeroFarm structure is being developed in Newark.

The report said, "If all goes to plan, by the end of the year, the site will be on its way to becoming the world's largest producing vertical farm and growing up to two million pounds of greens and herbs every year."

TechInsider said the 69,000-square-foot warehouse will become the world's largest vertical farm.
