STEM Garden™ by Babylon Micro-Farms brings the benefits of indoor growing into schools, senior living communities, libraries, community centers, wellness spaces, and shared environments where people gather, learn, and connect.

When schools grow food on-site, they're creating opportunities for students to connect with where food comes from, supporting healthier meals, and turning classrooms into living laboratories.”

— Alex Tyink, CEO of Fork Farms

As agriculture adapts to climate change, resource constraints, and growing food demand, universities are rethinking how they prepare students for careers in the industry. While traditional fieldwork remains valuable, it no longer reflects the technologies transforming commercial food production.

With Growcers’ virtual tour it shows the farm is the size of a large shipping container. Inside are left and right plant reservoirs, a work and seeding station, nutrient monitors, C02 sensors, thermostat, HVAC system, environmental sensors, LED lights and more.

Plantation Park Heights, founded in 2014, is an urban farm sprawling across several blocks in Baltimore’s Greenspring and Central Park Heights neighborhoods, where greenhouses and gardens seem to sprout from every vacant lot.

On 3 August, shipping data recorded only six vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz. Three were bulk carriers.

The number may change tomorrow. The vulnerability will not.

More than 70% of the foodstuffs imported by GCC countries normally pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The New York City Correction Department has awarded a nearly $230,000 annual contract to a Colorado-based firm, FarmBox Foods, to teach inmates — or “persons in custody” — at Rikers Island and other municipal jails how to “vertical” farm in an urban setting.

🌍 This milestone marks an important chapter in Hippotainer's journey to develop innovative and sustainable solutions for the future of agriculture. After the christening, the container will set sail for its next adventure in Bonaire, where it will play a vital role in contributing to local food security.

Many livestock businesses analyse milk yield, daily weight gain, feed conversion and veterinary costs with great precision, yet continue to accept one of their largest financial dependencies as unavoidable: purchasing almost everything their animals consume from external suppliers.

Container farms for food banks make it possible to grow fresh produce indoors, every day of the year, regardless of season or weather. A container farm‍ ‍is a repurposed shipping container fitted with hydroponic growing systems, LED lighting, and climate control, and it lets a food bank become a producer of fresh food rather than only a distributor of it.

The two climate-controlled containers measure 40 feet in length where DiveDWN can grow up to 36,000 heads of lettuce annually in colder temperatures and when warmer, crops like tomatoes can thrive.

There’s a difference between being fed and being nourished. It took a shipping container, a delivery van, three state grants, and the coordination of partners who refuse to accept that fresh food is a luxury — but last Monday, that difference got a little smaller for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity.

Adrina Farms is a hydroponic farm. They grow in water instead of in soil, and then nutrients get added to the plant in a controlled environment. It’s right in the middle of the City of Charlotte at Innovation Barn, and they grow lettuce vertically.

Not every indoor farming project needs to begin at full scale.
For some growers, a single BioCube Container is the right place to start. It offers a focused environment for one crop, one production model, and a clearly defined output..

The Howard County Food Council has installed Gardyn Hydroponic Systems at seven county schools to grow fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers through hands-on instruction with students.

The Growcer, an Ottawa-based company, allows farmers and others needing fresh vegetables to grow hydroponically in small, self-contained, universal units.

The company was founded in 2016.

What began as a simple family gardening activity during the Covid-19 pandemic has evolved into a structured agricultural enterprise, accountant-turned-entrepreneur Jeacim Francis Adaya told Gulf Times in an exclusive interview.

In Charlotte, an indoor vertical farm at the Innovation Barn is positioning itself as an alternative to traditional outdoor growing by moving lettuce production into shipping containers and using a controlled, water-powered system designed to limit outside exposure.
