ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Fresh, locally produced vegetables will soon sprout from hydroponic beds in an enclosed, converted shipping container parked at New Mexico State University’s branch campus in Grants.
The 40-foot “Farm in a Box” will provide hands-on education and workforce training for local students and others interested in studying the emerging science of “indoor agriculture” as a new, potentially sustainable, enterprise that could offer fresh economic development opportunities and job creation in an area hard hit by the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
New Mexico State University is partnering with Tri-State Generation and Transmission to join the Electric Power Research Institutes National Demonstration and Monitoring of Indoor Food Production Facilities research project to explore indoor agriculture concepts.
