In the kale-filled facility at vertical farm startup Bowery Farming, it’s a piece of proprietary software that makes most of the critical decisions — like when to harvest and how much to water each plant. But it still takes humans to carry out many tasks around the farm. Katie Morich, 25, loves the work. But as roboticists make gains, will her employer need her forever? This is the fourth episode of Next Jobs, a series about careers of the future hosted by Bloomberg Technology’s Aki Ito.

Bowers is more like Wayne industries in farming world in this documentary.
Notice how thin and translucent all hydroponic plants are compared to plants grown in earth? Like, are they absorbing any types of minerals or vitamins or nutrients from the water and them giving them to the animals that eat them? Are they factory farms just producing water stored in plants?
Farming is beast
vertical farming crap like kale, lettuce, herbs or any other salad greens is nothing major. let us know when you can grow the 99% of other produce people consume
She cute
great story but global population peaks around 2020 then it's down hill from there.
Nature does it best; living beings are awesome.
If it's not outside it's not a farm.
is it just me, or does she have a phat a$$
0% nutritional consideration for the consumer is taken into consideration in the making of this commodity. Big Pharma loves this!
THIS IS GROSS! There's no substitute for nature!

My doubt How does artifical lights replace sunlight to make photosynthesis happen. What kind of light is she using?
aquaponics would be cheaper and easier.
