There, AeroFarm\u2019s aeroponics technology will spray a mist of high-nutrient solution onto the crops. No soil is necessary for growth. Instead, the plants root themselves in microfleece cloth that&#8217;s stretched across modular, stackable planters. The sustainable process also uses recycled water and monitoring equipment. This manages the plant\u2019s carbon dioxide intake as well as the intensity of the overhead LED lighting. AeroFarm is part of a larger redevelopment project called <em>Maker\u2019s Village<\/em>. They will be an anchor establishment for the locale, which intends \u00a0to bring \u201cmaker-type\u201d businesses to the Ironbound neighborhood in Newark.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">(<\/span><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #339966;\" title=\"Vertical Farm\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mymodernmet.com\/profiles\/blogs\/aerofarm-vertical-farm-makers-village?context=tag-architecture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[easy-share buttons=&#8221;facebook,twitter,linkedin,mail&#8221; counters=0 native=&#8221;no&#8221; image=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/yusuke-asai-waf-1.jpg url=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8457 facebook_text=Share twitter_text=Tweet\u00a0linkedin_text=Link text=&#8221;Vertical Farm&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div  style='height:10px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_two_third '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div> <div class=\"flex_column av_two_third  flex_column_div first  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_third  \" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8458 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/aerofarms2edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/aerofarms2edit.jpg 675w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/aerofarms2edit-119x80.jpg 119w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/aerofarms2edit-450x303.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p><\/div> <div class=\"flex_column av_one_third  flex_column_div   avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  \" ><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The city of Newark, New Jersey will soon be home to the world\u2019s largest indoor vertical farm.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":8459,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8457"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8457"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18997,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8457\/revisions\/18997"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
