Cities of the Future May Eat Plants Grown in the Air



Nov. 21 (Bloomberg) –- AeroFarms has developed a vertical farming system that can grow organic baby leafy greens in urban settings. They're doing it using aeroponics -- the process of growing plants in mist without any soil -- and plan to launch a branded product from a new 80,000-square-foot warehouse in Newark, New Jersey. AeroFarms CEO and Co-Founder David Rosenberg talks to Bloomberg's Sam Grobart about how the company is bringing their produce mainstream for Bloomberg's "The Year Ahead: 2015" series.
