The Plant

reviewed by nelsnelson

Short description

It’s part vertical farm, part food-business incubator, part research and education space.

Description

Four years ago, entrepreneur John Edel bought a sprawling vacant factory in Chicago and decided to turn it into a vertical farm that produces everything from fish to salad greens to beer. Now, Edel says the experiment is proving that urban indoor farming can work: His venture provides local food and recycles local waste, all while turning a profit.
