A company above Alaska's Arctic Circle has started farming inside a 40-foot shipping container equipped with hydroponics technology. The subsidiary of a local Native corporation is harvesting kale, basil, lettuces, and other greens with a soil-free system on a barren tundra. The venture is the first of it's kind, but the operation is making a case for locally grown food through hydroponics, as Arctic Greens sells their harvest to a supermarket in a community of over 3,000 people. Their goal is to set up additional systems in other Alaskan communities in rural areas with few roads. Since transport of vegetables can take more than a week to reach some of those communities, the prices are high and the produce is commonly past its prime when it arrives. http://hosted2.ap.org/APDEFAULT/386c25518f464186bf7a2ac026580ce7/Article_2016-11-04-US--Arctic%20Farming/id-d78e9307515b48ad8f3324a216dd48f1 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Business using http://wochit.com
