Courtesy Eden GreenOne of Eden Green's aims is to remove some of the unpredictability of farming by doing it indoors in soaring greenhouses stacked with rows of greens. At its facility of nearly 83,000 square feet, Eden Green does its growing without soil, a process called hydroponics . Eden Green said it uses 98% less water and 99% less land than traditional farming. Advertisement"You can still have that agriculture job and have a full-time, steady position," they said. Eden Green's retention rate has been above 80% for the past nine months, the company said.

Meanwhile, two indoor farming companies that attracted strong startup money — New Jersey's AeroFarms and Kentucky's AppHarvest — filed for bankruptcy reorganization. Advocates say growing indoors uses less water and land and allows food to be grown closer to consumers, saving on transport. Tom Kimmerer, a plant physiologist who taught at the University of Kentucky, has tracked indoor farming alongside his research into the growth of plants both outdoors and inside. He said some companies may be struggling to scale up, with problems that come from launching in spaces that aren't necessarily built specifically for indoor farming. Several of the companies say they're on the right track.
