Episode 27 - Urban farming startups (Business English)

In episode 27, we’re talking about a new type of agriculture: urban farming. Do you know who grows the food that you eat? The truth is that for most of us the answer is no. The food supply chain is so long and so complex, that it’s almost impossible to trace where our food is coming from. Urban farming startups are stepping up to solve this challenge by using innovation to bring agriculture to cities and make it more sustainable, more productive and even more profitable. A few examples of this new type of agriculture include rooftop farming, vertical farming and container farming. Some new words we’re explaining in this episode include: to mitigate, to retrofit, and turnkey.
