A local solution for the next generation of global food supply

A common thread between the post of Sunday and the one of today. Another story about food, a topic that Sustainable diary love.

Sourcing food that is grown locally and sustainably is integral to solving the environmental problems we face today. The innovative minds at FreightFarms create access to food in areas of the world where the climate or the urban condition cannot support traditional farming methods.

They retrofit used shipping containers into little modular farms that can be strategically placed to supply the needs of communities.

By employing a vertical farming system, they can maximize the the growing space within the container and is possible have year-round growing season. This system brings a high volume of fresh, quality and affordable food within reach of everyone along the food supply chain.

The Freight Farms method uses less water and energy than traditional farming methods and can be done without pesticides or herbicides.
