This Hong Kong farm is using fish and blue lights to grow basil the size of your face

In an industrial warehouse in Hong Kong, Farm66 is pioneering smart ways to grow fruit vegetables. It says its tech could help to produce food in new environments — from city centers to outer space.
In a 20,000-square-foot industrial warehouse in Hong Kong's Tai Po district, Farm66 grows plants on stacked shelves under LED lights. Protected from pests and pollution, this indoor farm uses no soil and minimal water says Gordon Tam, co-founder and CEO of Farm66. What's more, the controlled environment allows the company to direct the shape and size of the plants.
Making effective use of limited space, indoor farms in urban areas could help to reduce transport-related carbon emissions and improve food security in cities that rely on imports, says Tam — an issue that was thrust into the spotlight when supermarket shelves emptied during the pandemic.
When prosecutors make their final pitch Tuesday to a New York jury for why they should convict Donald Trump of a slew of business crimes, they’ll face the burdensome task of weaving together weeks of testimony and evidence they say proves the former president committed felonies to help his 2016 campaign.
