Did you know most food travels hundreds of miles before it reaches your plate? Now, picture a world where farm-fresh produce isn’t hours away — but just steps.
If you love fresh, organic, and sustainable food, mark your calendar for “Sunrise Science: The Next Generation of Vertical Farming” at the Science Museum of Virginia on Friday, Sept. 27.
Starting at 8 a.m., meet Babylon Micro-Farms founder Alexander Olesen and learn how science is revolutionizing sustainable agriculture. During this interactive presentation, attendees will hear about:
- How vertical micro-farms are sprouting in urban landscapes like Richmond, turning farm-to-table from a trend to a reality where fresh produce is grown just around the corner
- Why vertical farming not only reduces emissions + conserves water, but also delivers tastier, more nutritious produce
Whether you’re a foodie, a sustainability advocate, or just curious, this talk is sure to grow on you.
