AeroFarms in New Jersey
A smart warehouse full of growing plants. Lettuce, kale and other leafy greens.

AeroFarms is an agriculture company that uses vertical farming to produce 130 to 390 times the output of a conventional farm. It's all done indoors under LED lights. The lights shine at a specific intensity and spectrum that's tailored to each plant.
