Indoor Farming: A Hidden Environment Problem
Rockwool-Based Farm Emissions:
High-Carbon Production
TBA
Long Transport Distances:
TBA
Total CO₂ Emissions:
Competitor farms using rockwool generate approximately 32 kg CO₂ per kilogram of lettuce.
Emissions Comparison of Indoor Farming
Indoor Farming is Polluting:
Depicted by the use of high-energy and carbon-intensive inputs such as Grodan (rockwool), which results in elevated emissions levels.
Emissions per Shipment:
Even with optimized transport, a minimum of 1000 kg CO₂ emissions per shipment is expected, and overall emissions can range between 20-32 kg CO₂ per kilogram of lettuce depending on farming practices.
