In February, our category is "Indoor Innovations: Farming the Future!" While the ground here in New York is still too cold to kick off the growing seasons month, we’re highlighting cutting edge indoor growing techniques, from high-tech greenhouses and vertical farms to hydroponic and aeroponic systems. We want to see photos Whether it’s a vibrant greenhouse, an urban indoor farm, or a beginning grower’s first attempt at bringing their porch plants in for the winter, we want to see photos that capture the innovation, sustainability, and productivity of indoor agriculture.
