How does your garden grow? By Sarah Faygie Berkowitz | December 16, 2020
What if you could take a tried-and-true concept, one that’s been practiced for centuries and kept civilizations alive, and turn it around completely, so that nothing is as it was, and a complete paradigm shift is required to adjust to the new reality?
The brilliant minds behind the VerticalField concept, which originated in Raanana, Israel, have done just that. They’ve taken the concept of field farming and literally flipped it on its head. You no longer need to own a large — or even small — plot of land to be able to plant and grow crops. All it takes is a wall, or space for a pod — a 20- or 40-foot self-enclosed farm that has all the technology built into it to grow hundreds of crop varieties.
