Have you seen or heard about an indoor farm in a Tokyo office building? Only today I found out that this indoor 'farm' actually had closed already in May 2017 when the recruitment corporation moved their HQ!!! ...despite knowing that mind-blowing examples from Japan tend to be generalized for the whole country based on stereotypes and presented over and over again uncritically. The more important part is, this innovation was not primarily about food production, even though most mentions focus on
#futurefood with a tone of
#techsolutionism, but about marketing, team building, employer retainment, so more the social aspects that food growing and consuming can enhance.
