ASHS 2015 Annual Conference

Founded in 2004, AeroFarms^® is a mission-driven company leading the way to address our global food crisis by building, owning, and operating farms that grow locally flavorful, safe, healthy food in a sustainable and socially responsible way, setting a new standard for culinary freshness and flavor.  AeroFarms is fundamentally transforming agriculture and disintermediating the supply chain for baby leafy greens by enabling local indoor farming at commercial scale all year round utilizing aeroponics and LEDs. Our productivity per square foot is over 75 times greater annually vs. the field farm driven by our proprietary growing algorithms. Every one of our harvests has over 10,000 data points being monitored to ensure high quality and consistency. This marriage of engineering and science and data science is redefining agriculture today.  Some of these challenges and opportunities will be shared.
