The sky is the limit for the vertical farming industry. Aerofarm's Marc Oshima joins Cheddar to discuss his company's construction of the world's largest indoor farm. The co-founder and chief marketing officer explains the technology behind the firm's smart-farming system. Earlier this year, Aerofarms built its new flagship facility in Newark, New Jersey. Oshima takes us inside the massive new complex and explains how it fits into the company's overall scaling strategy. He reveals that Aerofarms also makes sure to integrate itself in every community it enters. Finally, we discuss vertical farming in the context of the internet of things. Aerofarms tracks the data points from every seed it plants to track and tweak its overall color, taste, and nutrition. Oshima explains how a 5G future will change what's possible for the intersection of technology and agriculture.

Microsoft says some Skype features will migrate to Teams, but its Teams Phone feature is only for businesses.
