John Hantz Farms won’t be a typical farm with sprawling fields. Hantz has consulted with agricultural experts at the Michigan State University and the Kellogg Foundation and plans on using all the agricultural ingenuity the modern world can afford to make his endeavor work. His 250 to 280 acres will be split up into “pods” throughout the city and will grow vertically. He eventually plans to incorporate aquaculture (fish farming), hydroponics (growing plants in water), and aeroponics (growing plants in air), all of which can be housed in buildings.
Good on him! Though, Will Allen has been doing this (a state away in Wisconsin mostly) for years. http://www.idsnews.com/news/story.aspx?id=75903&search=jake
