Opportunities and Advantages for Vertical Farming
Agricultural Supply Chain Innovation – grow where people are Food Transparency – know where food comes from - LOCAL Food Security – grown, packaged, shipped from one location Food Sovereignty – LOCAL or regional 365, 24/7, LOCAL We need deployment for early adopters of the Vertical Farm-
to-Table concept across a region and our country Let’s feed people that need to be fed LOCALLY with fresh food Let’s create local green collar jobs now and into the future Ecosystem performance – it’s real and sustainable! Seek out “partner clients” the retail supermarkets that are
selling local, “farm-to-table” let’s all make “a good profit” Start to augment our existing agricultural supply chain...in 60
days…how we respond will define our planets future
