Aiming to localize lettuce and leafy greens beyond the 90% supplied by California and Arizona, Gotham Greens has opened a 210,000-SF, high-tech hydroponic greenhouse in Seagoville, southeast of Dallas. The new facility uses "enhanced automation, climate control, and data science capabilities in a fully closed system" to "reliably grow food closer to where people live."
