Aptera Founder's Vision For the Future of Agriculture

Steve Fambro, the former founder of electric car startup Aptera Motors, has a new mission: use cutting edge technology to grow organic produce, more efficiently, using "farm pods". According to a report this week from GigaOm, Fambro's latest venture, Famgro Farms, has created stackable "farm units" that use LEDs to optimize the amount of light in hydroponic farms, which can be grown in urban areas.
