In NYC, space is at a premium.  This is a place where you see playgrounds on the tops of buildings and parking garages that tower floors above and below the actual street level.  In a space where you don’t have a lot of room to do the things you need to do already, something like agriculture is pointless, right?  Think again.  A vertical farm has been brought into the city using LED lighting and the perfect system that is now getting ready to give its first harvest of vegetables that the world has been waiting for anxiously.
