This is the core of how their platform works:
AeroFarms uses aeroponic technology to grow plants at a rate of efficiency that eclipses that of traditional farming. The process involves placing the seeds in a cloth medium and showering them with a nutrient mist to make them grow, using 95 percent less water than field farming. With LED light installations, the company grows food indoors year-round without sun or soil, stacking the plants on top of each other in vertical columns.
“This is really a new marriage of biology and engineering,” AeroFarms chief marketing officer Marc Oshima said of the process. “We think about the vertical beds for growing, the LED lights—it’s about how you create the whole system, and the whole approach. In terms of per square foot, we have 75 times greater productivity on an annualized basis than a field farmer. So this is a way you can do farming at scale, and a way you can compete with a field farmer today.”
This seems very promising in solving hunger issues as well as being green.

Great idea. I wonder if this system is viable for anything other than leafy crops though?
