Shipping containers are increasingly being used for controlled environment agriculture (CEA). These innovative farms, often referred to as container farms, allow crops to be grown in a controlled setting, independent of external weather conditions[1][2].
Some key benefits of container farming include:

The daily structure and personal fulfillment of a job well done is an essential part of life—and it’s just as important for individuals with autism as it is for anyone else. Yet, nearly half of 25-year-olds with autism have never held a paying job. At Greens Do Good, a hydroponic, vertical farm in Hackensack, NJ.

Report: Global Seafood Production Could Rise 20% to 2050
“We forecast an increase in overall marine seafood production of about 20% to 2050,” said Bente Pretlove, Program Director of Ocean Space at DNV Group, in the report. “While capture fisheries output is stagnant, marine aquaculture will double and finfish production almost triple in this period.”
In 2023, the world's production of finfish is estimated to be around 39.6 million metric tons (MMT), which is a 1.8 percent increase from 2022. Global production is expected to increase by 4.3% in 2024 and 3.9% in 2025, if there are no unforeseen biological problems.
Finfish species include:
Baitfish, Catfish, Salmon, Striped bass, Tilapia, Trout.
Finfish aquaculture uses many different farming methods, including:
The West Coast's commercial finfish aquaculture process starts in land-based hatcheries. Salmon are then transferred to in-water net pens or larger land-based tanks for grow-out and harvest.
According to a UN study, aquaculture can improve food security and nutrition by increasing the amount of seafood available for people to eat.

In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a town centered around its tourism industry, 78 percent of people living with disabilities are unemployed. But now, a local farm is working to change that. In partnership with the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, Matter of Fact Correspondent Leone Lahkani travels to Wyoming to see how Vertical Harvest is creating economic options for people with disabilities.

But it's quicker than growing crops in the soil, it uses less water, and it allows growers to stack plants closer together.

According to the United Nations, the planet must produce 70 percent more food by 2050 to meet growing global hunger needs. The World Wildlife Fund says approximately 3 billion people in the world currently rely on seafood as a primary source of protein. The Bumble Bee Seafood Company is working closely within the industry and with NGOs and governments globally to rebuild ocean abundance and diversity to ensure seafood remains a viable and vital long-term source to feed a surging population.
American shoppers are also increasingly sharing concerns about the health of the planet. According to a 2020 study conducted by IBM and the National Retail Federation, 57 percent of consumers surveyed said they were willing to change their buying habits to reduce their impact on the environment. And in a GlobeScan survey from that same year, 55 percent of U.S. seafood consumers – including many who live hundreds of miles from an ocean shoreline – agreed that fish and other seafood should only be consumed from sustainable sources.
Aquaponics refers to a food production system that couples aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish, snails or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) whereby the nutrient rich aquaculture water is fed to hydroponic grown plant, involving nitrifying bacteria for converting ammonia into nitrates.
As existing hydroponic and aquaculture farming techniques form the basis for all aquaponic systems, the size, complexity, and types of foods grown in an aquaponic system can vary as much as any system found in either distinct farming discipline.
HydroponicsHydroponics is a type of horticulture and a subset of hydroculture which involves growing plants (usually crops) without soil, by using mineral nutrient solutions in an aqueous solvent. Terrestrial plants may grow with their roots exposed to the nutritious liquid, or, in addition, the roots may be physically supported by an inert medium such as perlite, gravel, or other substrates. Despite inert media, roots can cause changes of the rhizosphere pH and root exudates can affect rhizosphere biology.
The nutrients used in hydroponic systems can come from many different sources, including fish excrement, duck manure, purchased chemical fertilizers, or artificial nutrient solutions. Plants commonly grown hydroponically, on inert media, include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, lettuces, cannabis, and model plants like Arabidopsis thaliana. Hydroponics offers many advantages, notably a decrease in water usage in agriculture. To grow 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of tomatoes using intensive farming methods requires 400 liters (88 imp gal; 110 U.S. gal) of water; using hydroponics, 70 liters (15 imp gal; 18 U.S. gal); and only 20 liters (4.4 imp gal; 5.3 U.S. gal) using aeroponics. Since hydroponics takes much less water to grow produce, it could be possible in the future for people in harsh environments with little accessible water to grow their own food.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests
