As mentioned previously, a cool new company called Square Roots is using high-tech shipping containers to bring hydroponic, locally grown produce to urban centers like Bed Stuy which have few locally sourced food options. In this immersive 360° video from Motherboard, peek inside the containers from all angles and see how they work to get fresh produce into Brooklyn markets.
The future of urban farming is in shipping containers. In this 360 video, Motherboard goes to Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn to visit a high-tech, hydroponic farming that's fueling a new food revolution. By growing energy-efficient, locally-sourced, and GMO-free greens for Brooklyn's immediate communities, the farmers of Square Roots are breaking away from the traditional, transport-heavy, industrial food system and blazing the trail for the future of super-efficient urban farming.
