"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.
Producers Collin and Matt are graduating seniors at Northwestern University. They spend much of their time inside and out of school as film students and are currently looking forward to graduation and the world beyond! Collin is originally from Portland, OR and Matt is from Goshen, IN.
