Plenty Unlimited said it will build the “world’s largest” indoor vertical farming campus on 120 acres near Richmond, Virginia. The $300 million facility will grow multiple crops, including leafy greens and tomatoes, starting with a Driscoll’s strawberry farm in the winter of 2023-2024. The company says the project, expected to produce up to 20 million pounds of produce annually, will also create 300 new jobs. The farm complex will include 30-foot climate-controlled and pesticide-free grow towers that maximize light exposure for crops, which will be tended to in part by tall robotic arms. More than 2,000 vertical farms are already filling plates across the US. Investor interest in the vertical farming sector has picked up as record heat and droughts underscore the vulnerability of the global food supply.
