Bowery Farming is using robotics and software to raise crops in warehouses outside of big cities.
Jose Andres, Carla Hall and David Barber are among the star chefs who have invested in Bowery's indoor farming venture.
The U.N. projects that by 2050, food production will need to increase by about 60 percent to feed the growing global population....

Why don’t they grow wheat, barley, corn, etc?
At least you can make beer and whisky from grains.
As for kale, I am trying recall if I have ever eaten kale.
I never have. Had mustard greens a few times. Those were good.
I’d rather have swiss chard. At least that tastes good with pasta, tomato sauce and parmesan. The stalks aren’t too bad battered and deep fried.
Moooo!...................
Both kale and chard are vastly overrated as far as flavor.
If I want fresh greens I generally stick with the Big Three;
Collard, Mustard and Turnip Greens.
Kale and chard go limp and slimy almost instantly.
Low to no flavor.
Good for those who see food primarily as a form of medicine.
I eat kale regularly—lacinato kale! But I have no idea what “customized kale” is!!!!
Besides that, growing kale will not even make a minuscule dent in feeding the hungry world. Really!!!!
I”m growing Swiss Chard. Love the stuff. I sautee it in butter.
I grew one plant as an experiment and I did nothing to it and it grew into this beautiful plant. And before I could harvest it, the top half dissappeared. The next day the bottom half dissappeared. The next year I planted enough for the deer and me. Been eating it ever since.
We grow Jalapeños, serranos, anchos and swiss chard year-round in our basement.
The Mrs. LOVES hot peppers swiss chard.
I throw it in the vitamix with other stuff.
I also recently bought a bag of kale chips. Pretty good although a little expensive.
Then I watched a youtube on ways to preserve food and the lady said you can drench kale in salad dressing and then dehydrate it.
The dehydrator arrives tomorrow.
,p.no, dont like it much, but if they have a local market for it, god bless them.
With the pot hidden in between:-)

Have you ever stripped off a piece of that vinyl-plastic material on certain kinds of paper binders after it started to ply off? If you ever tried to taste it, that would be like eating Kale
It sounds like they learned this from the Israelis.
I’ve never heard of “customized Kale”-is that another term for GMOs? I do grow it and eat it-but I agree that Kale is over-rated-doesn’t have as much flavor as Spinach, Chard, or mustard/turnip greens. I like my greens just barely cooked, so I season them with Mrs. Dash or lemon pepped, steam them for maybe 3 minutes and serve them with real butter.
Ah, no. I do eat a lot of vegetables, though.
Ive never heard of customized Kale
Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby Kale
Actually, that sounds like a good idea-maybe if there were varieties of Kale that were colors other than green, it might look more interesting lying on a plate...
Kind’a like a bitter chard, isn’t it?
