Biosphere 2: Vertical farming

Here's a demonstration of vertical farming inside a freight container at Biosphere 2. The University of Arizona is partnering with Freight Farms to demonstrate the operational and financial viability of this idea. Greens like lettuce grow hydroponically with LED lighting (the red lights), and a "harvest" can occur every two weeks. Vertical farming can be implemented in urban centers, especially in areas where there is currently a lack of fresh food.
