(OTCPink: GRSO) University of British Columbia (\"UBC\") students study Aeropods' carbon footprint.  From operating grow lights, to heating and cooling, indoor farming can be an energy-intensive process. The course plans to answer the question of how we can reap the benefits of indoor farming while minimizing our carbon footprint. \nGrow Solutions is pleased to be working with a group of 3rd year undergraduate students at the University of British Columbia to answer that question. UBC's Land and Food Systems Core Series (\"LFS 350\") uses real-world examples to prepare students to tackle complex issues around agriculture, environment, and community. The projects are done in collaboration with local and regional organizations, allowing the students to contribute to food system sustainability and community food security.   \nGrow Solutions wholly owned subsidiary Pure Roots has shared with the students the materials and processes it will use in manufacturing its facilities, growing, processing and delivering food. \"Our goal is to use a data-driven approach to improve the energy efficiency of our growing system,\" said Lena Syrovy, Vice President of Agronomy at Pure Roots. \"With greenhouse gas emissions being one of the most pressing issues facing our generation, we believe energy consumption must be included in the conversation on vertical farming.\"\nVertical farming is often applauded for its low water, fertilizer, and space requirements. One AeroPod can produce 22x more kale annually compared with outdoor production in the same footprint. Vertical farming will be p...
