Your next salad might come from a greenhouse down the street.
Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) combines cutting-edge technology with farming best practices to produce fruits, vegetables and herbs year round, in a small size facility with large scale results unmatched by traditional methods. There are dozens of indoor farming companies sprouting up across the U.S., promising higher yields with a substantially smaller environmental impact. The result is lettuce and greens that are sustainably grown – and because locally grown means a shorter commute – produce that stays fresher longer.
