Description
Cities are growing, populations are increasing, and competition continues for limited natural resources. Increasingly food-conscious consumers are demanding safe, local, high quality food. Within this context, a new industry has emerged to meet these challenges: urban agriculture. Using indoor lighting, recycling systems, and grow-sensitive technology, urban farming holds great promise as one tool to help the world achieve future food security.
