Industry & Business · Organic Microgreens

A South Carolina microgreens farm never took an investor’s dollar, and it is building again.

It went microgreens-only in 2017, sells mostly to grocery chains, and is now talking to the retailers a failed indoor farm left behind this summer.

This Week’s Stories

LED Lighting · Yield

One light setting raised a microgreen crop’s yield by two-thirds, and the scale was measuring the wrong thing

Food Safety · Research

A study of indoor growers found some treat the building itself as their safety plan, and training did not seem to change what they knew

Facilities · Follow-Up

A city adviser decided an indoor microgreens farm does need public money, just not the amount it asked for

Farmers Markets · Policy

One market found a single programme lifted its visitor count, and the farm bill keeps the cuts that threaten it

Also in this week’s full issue: live against dried microalgae on broccoli microgreens, the buyer list for a bankrupt Dutch vertical farming firm, the mood at GreenTech’s first North American show, Italy’s Antarctic microgreens yield, and a correction we owed you from last week.

Plus six action items pulled straight from this week’s stories.
