As I was spending my Christmas Eve reading up on the latest innovations in high-tech agriculture, I stumbled upon this gem. The world's first vertical strawberry farm in Richmond, VA. Straight out of LwtL. Major steps towards better, sustainable and affordable food production free of environmental challenges have been taken, with the "world's first farm to grow indoor, vertically farmed berries at scale" opening in Richmond, VA. It's backed by an international team of scientists that see this new phase of agriculture as a way to ease global food demands. The Richmond farm uses 97% less land and up to 90% less water than conventional farming, eradicates the use of pesticides, and the controlled environment and shorter supply chain will also lower pathogenic risk to crops. “I would like to see protected cropping or controlled environment agriculture treated as a separate discipline of plant science," added Gauthier. “If we are to increase food production by as much as 70% by 2050, we need to look at things differently. https://newatlas.com/manufacturing/world-first-vertical-strawberry-farm-plenty/

Rode LWTL a few times on my trip in October and one of those was during a heavy rainstorm. There was a pretty bad leak right as you enter the first greenhouse, so hopefully they are taking care of that during this refurb
