Vertical farming is often applauded for its low water, fertilizer, and space requirements. One AeroPod can produce 22x more kale annually compared with outdoor production in the same footprint. Vertical farming will be part of the solution to meeting fresh food needs in the future, allowing food to be grown year-round close to where it will be eaten. However, the energy required to build and operate indoor farms is less often discussed.

Ms. Stephanie Lim, the UBC Community Relations Coordinator for the Faculty of Land and Food Systems stated: "By sharing their knowledge and expertise, they (LFS 350 partners) contribute to the enhancement of students' ability to connect and contribute to the communities in which they live. We are glad to contribute UBC resources to the advancement of projects and initiatives on community-identified priorities related to complex food systems issues."

What are the key areas to focus on where we can have the biggest impact on lowering our energy consumption? "With our first farm in Surrey, B.C., planning on opening in the second quarter of 2020 we hope that the results of this project will shape our long-term technology and operational choices as we roll out more farms in the future," stated Chad Fischl, our Chief Executive Officer and Director.
