• For perspective, Bowery Farming’s new facility in Arlington, TX will be able to serve 16 million people in a 200-mile radius. This is only one of dozens of vertical farming companies with massive facilities across the country, backed by big investors.
• AeroFarms, who has the largest indoor vertical farming facility in the world, co-developed the first CRISPR-Cas9 gene-edited produce product, now hundreds are following, while National Geographic believes that gene editing is the next food revolution. AeroFarms also worked on an NIH sponsored trial to produce proteins for the Covid jabs.
• The University of California is developing a plant-based mRNA vaccine in the hopes that farms can grow edible vaccine heads of lettuce.
• Monsanto/Bayer is creating gene edited seeds for vertical farm companies, while Bill Gates, the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, and the World Bank control 10% of the world’s germplasms and hold some of the world’s largest seed banks. Bayer and BASF, two of the world’s largest suppliers of seed, are both involved with the vertical farm industry.
• The USDA and FDA have already approved lab grown meat, genetically modified cattle, and are funding the globalists to research and develop cellular agriculture as well as indoor growers and genetics companies, while they slack on regulations for gene-edited produce.
• Union Pacific is mandating railroad shipping reductions by 20%, impacting CF Industries Holdings, the world’s largest fertilizer company. Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street happen to be the top shareholders of Union Pacific, and BlackRock and Vanguard are in the top 3 shareholders of CF Industries Holdings.
• By mapping some of the biggest vertical farms (below in this report), it reveals the crops, grocery stores involved, locations, and billions pouring in by globalist investors and shareholders. It quickly becomes evident that this is the global plan to control all produce – ingredients that go into all food products.

In February 2022, AeroFarms partnered with Silal, Abu Dhabi’s leading fresh produce and agri-tech company, for a longterm research and development of transferring technology and data analytics of high tech farming systems. The goal is to improve the genetics and seedling quality of vegetables and fruit. They may also work with international consortia on developing new genotypes of crops.
AeroFarms serves grocery stores, distributors, and online grocers, some of which include:
Amazon Fresh
Baldor Specialty Foods
FreshDirect Express online grocerShopRite

To provide a little bit of perspective as to just how big these indoor vertical farms are, Bowery Farming, who declares themself to be the largest vertical farming company in the U.S., recently announced it’s expansion into Arlington, TX, just outside of Dallas, to erect their newest “smart” indoor farm that will serve 16 million people within a 200-mile radius. What makes this facility so “smart?” According to Bowery, their farm is powered with 100% renewable energy, integrating software, hardware, sensors, computer vision systems, machine learning models, and robotics – all to “orchestrate and automate the entirety of operations.” Despite this full automated operation, they state it will provide jobs for 100 people when they open their doors in early 2023. Of course, their overall goal is to produce “traceable,” pesticide-free food to every major city in the U.S. and throughout the world.
In February 2022, Bowery acquired Traptic, a company that builds giant farming robots.
Based in New York City, Bowery already has facilities in:
Kearney, New Jersey
Nottingham, Maryland
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Arlington, Texas coming soon
Locust Grove, Georgia coming soon – to serve the Atlanta metropolitan area
Bowery has been serving e-commerce platforms plus over 800 grocery stores, including:
Acme (164 stores)
Amazon Fresh
Giant Food
Safeway (111 stores)
Specialty Grocers
Walmart
Weis
Whole Food Markets

(ignore the tin foil aspect and it's still an informative article on how the techie types are taking over farming)
Vertical Farming is kinda cool yet creepy at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV8ybZtwLlU
Sounds like the FDA will oversee this high tech vertical farming and I'm sure with their lab like conditions, they'll easily qualify for Organic Certified. Meanwhile the USDA will oversee us rural people and force "the transition to organic". Not being able to afford commercial fertilizer is one way to 'transition farmers'.
Funny, the amount of private money going into high tech vertical farming is as much as fedgov money going into both urban and rural farming plus other 'programs' and we all know how effective fedgov spending is.
Pretty soon:
Cities will be producing their own food via vertical farming and lab grown meat.
California/Florida will no longer be supplying the nation's fruits and veggies.
Food for rural areas will be shipped from the high tech city farms.
If rural people want to eat real food, a whole lot of us will need to become small farmers and run a mixed farming operation with veggies, fruit trees, laying hens, meat birds, a small cattle/sheep/lamb/goat herd. The main sales outlets will be farmer's markets and on farm sales. Many small, state certified, meat processors will be needed as will compost operations. Many of today's top producing market gardeners are buying compost in bulk. A mixed farming operation could make much of it's own compost but would need bulk carbon materials from other sources like tree services.
