Freight Farms

Freight Farms is a company that modifies shipping containers for the purpose of year-round agriculture.
Brad McNamara and Jonathan Friedman founded the company with a Kickstarter campaign, raising $30,000 in 2011.
The containers can be stacked like shipping containers.
A hydroponic system replaces soil with circulating water, efficiently delivering necessary nutrients to the plants.
== Details ==

Produce quality is not affected by weather. Growing conditions can be precisely controlled. Light is provided by LEDs, saving energy versus other lighting methods. Overall, Freight Farms claims that individual containers require 30,000 kWh of electricity annually to run. Factors such as water, air quality and temperature can be monitored and adjusted from a smartphone. By growing things locally they eliminate the cost of shipping food a long distance.
The containers have designated spaces for different stages of plant growth, including a seedling and germination area for 2,500 plants and 256 vertical towers for the growth of over 4,500 mature plants. Stacking containers make it possible to create high density and high yield farms. Individual containers start at US$76,000.
