Vertical Farming

Reactions is a show that uncovers the chemistry all around us. We answer the burning questions you’ve always wanted to ask, blending the worlds of science and every-day life.

Vertical Farming

Season 4 Episode 5 | 4m 28s | CC

This week Reactions is checking out the chemistry that makes vertical farms possible. As humans learned to farm, we arranged plants outside in horizontal fields, but we can now stack those fields vertically. Moving plants indoors has many benefits, but the choice of lighting can make or break the cost of a vertical farm and affect how long it might take for urban agriculture to blossom.
