FFAR awards $1 million research grant to AeroFarms
The Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR), a nonprofit organization established through bipartisan congressional support in the 2014 Farm Bill, announced a Seeding Solutions grant awarded to AeroFarms, a leading indoor vertical farming company with global headquarters in Newark, New Jersey. Principal Investigator Roger Buelow, Chief Technology Officer at AeroFarms, will collaborate with Rutgers University and Cornell University scientists to take advantage of the precision that is possible in indoor vertical farming systems, where “stressors” from light to humidity to temperature can be controlled consistently and precisely to improve specialty crop characteristics such as taste and nutritional quality.
