Future of Farming

It’s a concept that could revolutionize conventional agriculture by drastically limiting the amount of water needed to create the perfect product. Traditional farmers need 75 gallons of water to raise just one head of lettuce. A new technique allows growers to use just a cup and a half to do the same thing. It’s happening right here in the Bay Area. Vicky Nguyen has details on “farming 2.0” in this report. And if you want to try some of these lettuces and microgreens for yourself, belly up to a table at one of these Bay Area restaurants: Acquerello, Ame, Betelnut, Bourbon Steak, Calafia, Farallon, Greens, Le Papillon, Masa’s, Michael Mina, Nick’s on Main, One Market, Plumed Horse, Quince, RN74, Saison, Baume.
