GP Solutions announced that GrowPods provide businesses, communities, farmers and non-profit organizations a way to grow healthy and clean food while reducing carbon footprints. GP Solutions heard the call for innovation and has introduced what some are calling "a revolution in agriculture." One of the biggest contributors to global carbon pollution is food transportation. Over 95% of the lettuce and the majority of some other vegetables consumed in US markets are grown in California and Arizona and trucked long distances. According to reports, these trucks can emit as much as 9,033.2 lbs of CO2 getting this food to market. GrowPods can help reduce the carbon footprint by bringing the farm closer to the point of consumption. The World Resources Institute says a multi-pronged approach is necessary to reduce carbon emissions while simultaneously meeting rising demand for food, and increasing resilience to extreme weather. "A recurring theme in research was the need to advance technological innovation," the organization reported.
