Episode 166: AeroFarms: Indoor Vertical Farming with Marc Oshima

Scientist estimate that by 2050 there will be 9 billion people in the world, who need to eat to live. How will global agriculture produce enough food to feed them all? AeroFarms (@areofarms) is betting that indoor vertical farming and aeroponic technology will be a part of the solution. In-studio guest Marc Oshima, AeroFarms co-founder and CMO, talks with Jennifer Leuzzi (@mmesnack) about how their patented growing systems with more than 130,000 harvest data points, will optimize growth cycles and deliciousness for the future. Marc also discusses his work on the recently formed FDA Romaine Advisory Food Safety Task Force and the school farm inside the Phillips Academy Charter School in Newark, NJ.
