	Description:		Rob Laing, the CEO of Farm.One is a farmer of the future! He runs a thriving hydroponic farm that specializes in growing rare and exotic herbs and greens – right out of the Institute of Culinary Education in the heart of New York City. What is remarkable is that Rob farms without soil or sunshine and grows his nutrient dense greens 365 days of the year. We talk about a range of issues in this interview, starting with how he got interested in the food space, the basics of various indoor farming systems like hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaponics and fogponics, the advantages and limitations of vertical farming, the various startups and sub-segments of the urban agriculture ecosystem and how we can bring about a real food revolution by helping people connect with farming in urban areas. Food is the new Internet – so listen in to hear how the idyllic world of farming is being brought into the future.
