On this episode of “Tip of the Iceberg,” we delve into a big retail win for AeroFarms — with Whole Foods Market.

The company, based in Newark, N.J., has facilities nationwide and in the Middle East. AeroFarms is part of the growing sector of high-tech indoor-agriculture companies.

With AeroFarms, it’s never just one thing though. You’ll learn about USDA partnerships, research, solving the world’s problems, what’s happening in Abu Dhabi, in public schools, at celebrity restaurants, and with Tom Stenzel. It’s just so much.

Amy Sowder of PMG and Marc Oshima of AeroFarms dig into it all.
