Food For Thought: CEA Exec Marni Karlin Teaches Us About *Indoor Farm-to-Table

Agriculture and farming can play a tremendous role in reducing America's carbon footprint and farmers can lead the way in offsetting greenhouse gas emissions. One way of doing this is through Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) — a method designed from the ground up with sustainability in mind. CEA growers include greenhouses, vertical farms, and other indoor farms that combine traditional farming know-how with engineering, plant science, and technology to optimize the life of the plant. They don't have to worry about seasonal constraints; they use less water; use zero pesticides; they reduce virgin land use for crop production; they have shorter supply chains to reduce food waste; and much more. Special guest Marni Karlin is the perfect source to walk us through how all this works. She's the executive director of the CEA Food Safety Coalition. Tune in to learn all about how agriculture can reduce carbon emissions and improve overall impact to the environment.
