It can allow for the growing of an acre of crops in about 300 square feet, about the same area as a shipping container.

The structures to grow crops for vertical farms can range from retrofitted buildings to modified shipping containers.

A bag of ant-infested tortilla chips put me on high bug alert this past week — the immediate concern being I ate half the bag before realizing it. Ants found their way into our cupboard while we were out of town for a few days. Come to find out, two other neighbors on the block had the same unwelcome visitors within the last month.
