Rethinking Industrialism: The Plant

Mattlit77
"Rethinking Industrialism: The Plant" profiles a vertical farming project built in a repurposed factory in the historic meatpacking district of Chicago. Conceived by John Edel, The Plant aims to be the first fully functioning and self sustaining multi-floor urban farm. John is creating a realistic and scalable process that can be reused in other urban environments around the world. Built around a closed loop model, The Plant's main focuses are zero waste, sustainability, addressing food deserts, and creating employment opportunities.
