Can Vertical Farming Disrupt the Agriculture Industry? | Eater

"A 40,000-square-foot hydroponic warehouse farm about 30 miles outside Boston that began commercial shipments in 2015; it runs on a mix of renewable and nonrenewable energy and—according to company leadership—currently has a carbon footprint comparable to field-grown greens. The operation highlights the high retail price of vertically grown produce (a 4.5-ounce carton of spring mix sells for $3.99, roughly $15.96 per pound) and plans to introduce cogeneration and context-appropriate renewables as it expands to reduce energy costs and emissions." - Steve Holt
