Vertical farming infrastructure proposed in Detroit to support local food system
Quote:
DETROIT – Detroit-based Bedrock and indoor farming company Vertical Harvest announced today plans to explore building a vertical farm in Detroit.
The 60,000 square foot structure would stand 74 feet tall in Detroit’s Milwaukee Junction neighborhood. The 205,000 square-foot growing canopy would produce around 2.2 million pounds of fresh vegetables year-round, including lettuces, petite greens, microgreens and herbs.
The vertical design would create 100 acres worth of output on half-an-acre of land. Vertical Harvest would also distribute over 70% of the food grown at the location within 100 miles of Detroit.
