Indoor Farming Market Share, Rising Trends, Growth Drivers, Opportunities, Challenges, CAGR Status, Business Analysis and Future Outlook Till 2033: SPER Market Research

The practice of cultivating crops indoors without exposing them to the outside environment is commonly referred to as indoor farming. Vegetables, fruits, and herbs are the most widely cultivated indoor crops. Large-scale operations and compact spaces, such as basements, are both possible with indoor farms. Farming practices typically incorporate methods like hydroponics, where crops are nourished by artificial lighting. The yield from indoor farming technologies surpass traditional farming. A controlled environment inside the indoor farming complex creates an optimum growing conditions for the farmers to grow a crop from the seed till the harvesting stage arrives. In order to produce safer and healthier food, indoor farming technology refrains from employing any fungicides and all pesticides.

According to SPER Market Research, ‘Indoor Farming Technology Market Size- By Growing System, By Facility Type, By Component Type, By Crop Type - Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies and Segment Forecast to 2033’ state that the Global Indoor Farming Technology Market is estimated to reach USD 48.08 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 9.66%.

 The growing issue of a shortage of land for farming or food production, as a result of the world's population growing at an accelerated rate, is driving the development of indoor farming. Major advantages of indoor farming include improved crop growth, less water use, less reliance on outdoor temperatures or weather, labour cost savings, and improved energy conservation. These advantages are driving the global adoption of indoor farming practices, which is anticipated to fuel the growth of the indoor farming technology market. Modern agriculture has benefited from indoor vertical farming, which is gaining the interest of younger people. Technology for indoor farming makes it possible to maximize agricultural productivity and ecological sustainability due to shorter harvest times and better yields in less area.

Limited funding for agriculture-related businesses slows down research and development for indoor farming in public or private universities, which restricts the amount of data and information available. High set-up cost could be a restraining factor initially in indoor farming technology market. Since indoor farming equipment uses a lot of energy, farmers may find it difficult to pay for their high electricity bills. Furthermore, there is a need for higher public awareness and comprehension on the advantages of sustainable agriculture technologies and indoor farming. In addition, the sector lacks supervision and standards, which leads to variations in the safety and quality of products.

Make room for mushrooms this week as National Mushroom Day is observed every year on October 15th! Fall is the perfect time to celebrate the fascinating world of fruiting fungi, as the damper, cooler conditions usher in prime time for a host of these deliciously tasty morsels.

Mushrooms can provide a wonderful substitute for meat and seafood in many recipes, including your Thanksgiving and holiday spreads. We carry fresh mushrooms in all our farmers market locations, where you can find them being sold by our dedicated mushroom vendors and at some of our diversified farmstalls.

We recently chatted with Ted Hall from Mushrooms.NYC to learn more about their grow spaces in the southern Catskills and the range of edible mushrooms they produce year-round.

How did Mushrooms.NYC get started?

I have a background in climate policy studies with Columbia University Earth Institute, while my wife Anne was a chef. We are passionate about food security and access, regenerative farming and nutrition health and education. In 2017, we were expecting our second child and had started an urban farm in Far Rockaway. We found out about a mushroom farm in New York City that was looking for soil and needed help turning around its operations to stay afloat.

Anne expressed interest in taking over the reins of this farm and working with restaurants to supply them with locally grown, gourmet fresh mushrooms, while I managed the on-the-ground aspects. We took a leap of faith and, along with another friend, we were able to turn around the operation from losing money to becoming economically viable. According to Cornell Cooperative Extension's Urban Agriculture and Small Farms program we were the first and only mushroom farm in all five boroughs as of 2019!

Unfortunately, we had to demolish our New York City grow space during the lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic. We moved our operations to Ellenville, NY where we currently employ a team of nine people. Mushrooms.NYC is part of a Baha'i "Storehouse Cooperative” so we continue to share our profits and vital resources with everyone in Manhattan who we’ve worked with before.

What type of mushrooms do you cultivate year-round?

We have one small, highly controlled indoor grow space and another larger space that’s less regulated like a ventilated greenhouse using natural sunlight and heat to keep things from freezing in the winter.

Both areas are set up to be as passive as possible and use the least amount of energy while working with the existing weather patterns. These spaces allow us to consistently produce mushrooms year-round using a hands-on approach that is a lot less automated and energy intensive than other mushroom growing operations. Winter is always a bit trickier though as we have to use heat when conditions get really cold.

We organically cultivate many kinds of mushrooms that are packed with essential vitamins, compounds and minerals that support healthy individuals. All our mushrooms provide Vitamin B-12 when they are slow-cooked:

Shiitake: Shiitake mushrooms feature all nine amino acids which make them a full and complete protein and a great substitute for animal-derived protein.

Oyster (Blue/Silver, Brown, Gold, Pink, White): These common culinary mushrooms are prized for their delicate texture and mild, savory flavor. Oyster mushrooms also provide a full protein.

King Oyster/Trumpet

Lion’s Mane: These beautiful mushrooms look like waterfalls or icicles. When blanched in salted water, lion's mane mushrooms take on the flavor and texture of succulent shellfish such as crab or lobster, so make a great plant-based substitution.

White Coral: A relative of lion’s mane that’s more textured. It’s harder to cultivate so we don’t always have it.

Pioppino: An Italian species that’s also known as Black Poplar Mushroom or Velvet Pioppini. These mushrooms are very flavorful, almost like a taller, slender shiitake. Their flavor spreads on everything to just cover a dish.

Black Pearl: A species that lies somewhere in-between a King Oyster/Trumpet or a Blue Oyster.

Hen of the Woods: This species also provides a full protein but it’s very tricky to cultivate. But we just had our first successful cultivation using spores sourced from growers in Pennsylvania!

For our indoor cultivation, we use a growing medium made up of milled hard woods and certified organic grain that is the by-product of other operations. We were using propane to pasteurize our medium, but, in our ongoing quest to become more sustainable, we have switched to electric-generated steam. We would ideally like to convert the process to using solar or biogas, or even methane if we can do it in a well-ventilated area.

We also have outdoor cultivated growth in a forested area just under an acre in size that mimics a natural environment, which means we must watch for pest activity. These mushrooms are grown in substrate that’s free of contamination from other spores, so we know exactly what species we’re harvesting. The mushrooms are watered entirely by natural precipitation and are loaded with Vitamin D thanks to their exposure to natural sunlight.

We grow Gold and Silver Oyster, Lion’s Mane, Pioppino, Shiitake and sometime White Coral in this outdoor space. We can even produce a small amount of blue oyster and shiitake outside towards the end of winter as long as there is a little bit of snow melting during the daytime. These winter mushrooms are insanely tasty!

However, late spring and late summer-early fall are the sweet spots for mushroom growing, both indoors and outdoors. There is a big explosion of forage during these periods and our operations line up much better with the climate at that point.

What types of mushrooms do you forage for?

We’ve always foraged for wild mushrooms, but up until recently we were just doing it recreationally. Two years ago, we were able to obtain a license to forage nationally, which is not easy to come by as most folks only have a state foraging license.

Foraging has become more challenging these days as there are now commercial entities that are over-harvesting wild mushrooms and shipping them in from the west coast. There’s a lot of pressure to over-harvest mushrooms for profit. Some recreational foragers are also harvesting so much that it’s destroying the ecological integrity of the mushrooms' ecosystems.

Mushrooms.NYC is committed to harvesting our wild forage in a way that’s sustainable and sensitive to the ecosystem surrounding our farm. We are a mission-driven cooperative so are not trying to sell as many mushrooms as possible. The way we forage is a lot more labor intensive and less extractive, so the quality of our harvest is higher and relatively more expensive.

In addition to the pressures of over-harvesting, wild mushrooms are also sensitive to climate change. Mushrooms need snow as part of their lifecycle. Because of temperature change here in the Catskills, the winter-round snowpack is receding and has retreated to higher and higher elevations. A lot of well-known patches that had been there for generations are not producing edible mushrooms anymore. We are seeing a lot of erosion in our intact forests which is an indication that their mycological foundations are starting to give out. This means we are having to venture higher up each year to find our wild mushrooms.

We haven’t had much luck with Morels. We were able to find a small number last year, but it wasn’t enough to bring to the farmers market. However, we do collect and sell several types of locally foraged wild mushrooms including:

Black Trumpet

Chaga

Chanterelles

Chicken of the Woods

Coral

Hen of the Woods

Honey

Lobster

Reishi

Turkey Tail (we forage for several medicinal varieties)

Regional varieties like Bolete that are super tasty!

Thank you, Ted, for sharing these fascinating and fun fungi insights. In addition to their variety of fresh, gourmet mushrooms, and as part of their mission to spread access to fresh, nutritious food, Mushrooms.NYC also sells ready to fruit “grow blocks”. These kits are as easy as growing basil and will fruit for a couple of years so you can grow your very own culinary mushrooms at home.

See you again event bonus scene / Earth 65

A couple of hours after Steve return home with Thiego, he gave himself some time to breathe. To let Thiego hang out with his little sister, as you can hear some laughter, a light sense of sobbing and chatter coming from down the hallway. Hell he could hear Natasha and the girls rolling into a little conversation with his wife, Liane even mentioned she is gonna paint her nails a pretty teal color.

Yes it sounds horrible to some that he didn’t see his own wife right away the moment he returned but he wanted to freshen up properly before he did. Which meant he took a quick trip to the flower shop downtown and the farmers market, then came home to have a nice little shower. As he showered, all he could think about was the memories that the other version of Stella placed to the forefront of his mind as he smiled softly at the mere thought. He forgot about the tiny yet memorable moments he shared with his wife.

The day they met in 2010 to him asking her out on a date as she gladly said yes, to their soft dating period where he kept that secret time away from the team. He didn’t bother to tell his teammates about dating the SHIELD nurse yet for 2 years, it never came up until 2012 when the battle of New York came Natasha noticed how he kept his gaze every once in a while on a few agents and nurses on the Helicarrier. She smirked but didn’t say a word until after the battle was over and jokingly teased Steve, along with Tony and Bruce about who it was that he liked.

He was even shown his period from 2013–2015, where SHIELD and The Avengers members worked alongside one another to do good. His time in Washington DC for 2 years living with her as Stella and his friend down the hallway who pretended to be a nurse was actually a agent called Sharon Carter. Finding out about SHIELD being compromised with Sam Wilson, Natasha, Fury and Maria. Bucky being alive and searching for him.

They took a lot of hits but everything turned around as Sam and Steve found Bucky, able to coax the man into coming to get some real help after a couple of visits to his apartment. Bucky said yes, coming to live at Avengers Tower with the others, meeting Elle and after a long while starting to date Sam.

Steve remember the whole Ultron thing with Elle, 2015 was a great year having been together for 6 years at that point as the idea of marriage and kids started to roll around in their heads. Especially after the whole Clint Barton farm visit, talking with Laura and meeting his beautiful family. Bucky was teased by Sam about having little monsters running around the compound.

And they did talk about it, as 2016 he got down on one knee in front of everyone during a dinner party, giving a sweet speech and asking who to be his girl til the day he died, as she said yes. Bucky, Natasha and Tony were the first ones to think of a engagement party, as all the girls and guys gushed. It was also the year of the accident for Elle, as she was pretty banged up and went in and out of surgery, as he stood by her and did everything he could to nurse her back to health. In which she did, getting a dose of magic added to her system. Months later the two were married having a little celebration at the compound.

Years later, The Accords happened (nothing bad since the avengers were able to fool and outsmart the government. Hell Black Panther was on their side along with The X-Men), Thanos never really came in full force as he was a huge one and done, but Ultron did make a few returns across the years. Yet the series of heroes and anti-heroes, young and old were able to defend their world every time.

As of now in the—

“Daddy?”

~~~

Steve was in the kitchen in his thoughts already, creating a simple meal and organized a special bouquet of flowers when he heard the small voice. He looked over his shoulder to see a pair of brown eyes and rich light blonde curls meeting him halfway. Her cute little dress and wearing indoor shoes, as she held up her notebook.

Sarah Theodora Rogers. She was a spit image of his mother from the first name to her short blonde curls. However her eyes and nose were all Elle’s and her facial expressions were a clever mix of both parents. Her middle name was inspired by Thiego Strange, her uncle.

He smiled, placing her on the kitchen counter pushing the curls away from her faces.

“What are you doing here? I thought you and Pietro were spending the day together.” He asked with a smile, looking at the sandwich that was being grilled in the frying pan.

She shrugged with a smile, “Oh I was! But then we got sidetracked at the park after he realized he had to guy groceries and then he met a pretty girl…”

“And then he went a date with her?”

“No, he asked her where he could buy some donuts, so he can give them to Ji-Hoon.”

“Ah okay, what about afterwards?”

“Then he dropped me off at Wanda and Ethan who were watching Sitcoms. Uh, I got bored and found you.”

“And found me you did. I’m making lunch, you hungry?”

She nodded with a grin as he went to work making her a grilled cheese and ham sandwich. He would have mad something more grand but he knew she would have liked something more simple today. Besides she adored his sandwiches more than anything!

Sarah noticed the two sets of flowers. She pointed out the daisies and tulips, asking, “Who are those for?”

“The daisies are for you. The tulips are for mama. You like ‘em?” He asked, placing two plates next to the frying pan ready to put the sandwiches on them.

“Very! I um..uh daddy, I have a question. Is momma gonna be okay? Like get better?”

He put the sandwiches on 2 different plates and paused. He couldn’t lie to her in a sense, he was smart enough to notice and braver than he could believe, being very proud of her for it.

He tried to find the words and nodded, “..okay. Uh, honestly sweetie, i don’t know the true answer to that. I like to believe she will get better and push through it, especially with how much love and support we all give her..there are days where she doing better than most, there are days where she weaker than others..but she will get better.”

“And if she doesn’t? I know about life and death, Grandpa Stephen says that he sees it a lot in the hospital..auntie Nat says it is part of life..” Sarah repiled with a curious look on her face, as if trying to make sense of it all.

“Well, remember that birdie you and Theigo found one day after school?”

“Yeah?”

“And how she was hurt really badly so you tried to take care of her? Then afterwards she was doing fine and once the world made it clear, she flew away into another life..”

“Yeah it was sad but she looked calm when she died.”

“Mhm exactly, she wasn’t scared. Remember what happened a few days later?”

Sarah smiled this time and nodded, “My teacher got us a class bird! Her name Ruby, even though she is blue. It was like she was meant for our class, or least that’s what my teacher said.”

Steve chuckled, “Exactly. What happened with your birdie, is that she moved on but her spirt stayed to bring joy. So her next life, she must’ve became that bird to watch over your class, like a mascot.”

“So what I’m hearing is that Mommy is gonna turn into a bird?”

“Hahaha, maybe. Depends on what life has in store for her but I know for certain that she will be watching over us and let us know she’s still around in her own way.”

“How do you know so much, Daddy?”

“I just do. Just like I know your grandma Sarah, who you’re named after, is doing the same thing right now.”

Sarah smiled brightly and hugged her father, as Steve wrapped his arms around her tightly showering her face with kisses as she giggled. Once the father-daughter duo pulled away, Sarah brought the flowers to her room then came back following her father into the living room as he requested of she can bring the tulips to her mom for him as he carried the sandwiches.

~~~

In the living room, sat Elle on the couch with a blanket over her legs to keep her warm as she flipped across channels looking for something entertaining enough to watch. She looked very much less pale than when he left as she got a lot of color back, she laughed like herself again at the movie silly slapstick humor and her hair looked to be in a low ponytail.

She was playing with a old colorful fan in her hand, waving her around making silly flirtatious eyes as the paired walked into the room.

It made Steve’s smile grow at the sight. She was doing a lot better today and he thanked the universe for that gift. He winked at her doing so.

Sarah was the first to reach the couch, holding the flowers up to her mother giggling as she curled into her arms. Elle wrapped her arms around her daughter kissing her cheeks and thanked her for the bouquet, giving the fan over to her to play with. She knew how much Sarah loved that fan as she stayed twirling it around, resting her head on her shoulder.

Steve sat down on the other side of his wife, pressing a kiss to her cheek and handed her the plate. She thanked him, watching Sarah take her own plate and started to dig in, looking up at the silly film as she did so. Elle took a bite of her sandwich, humming at the delicious food in front of her and rested her head on her husband’s shoulder.

Midway through eating, Elle stopped and looked at her husband. Steve glanced over as he locked eyes with her alert, asking, “Are you okay? You need anything?”

She scoffed chuckling, “Relax! I’m fine..I feel better today.”

“You look better. You’re cheeks are rosy and your not as pale.”

“I noticed. A little tired but I’m fine. I know what you did earlier.”

He raised an eyebrow as he click onto what she meant and sighed, “Elle, doll, I’m sorry it’s just…”

“I know..” She simply replied, with a half hearted smile, “I overheard Thiego and Bruce talking with Nat down the hall when Liane was painting my nails. They weren’t subtle enough about it..you are insane, you know that?”

“I had a plan! Make the plan, execute the plan and expect the plan to not go off the rails. Yes, I was a little extreme the last 48 hours..”

“A little?”

“A lot. I broke a few short grids, bruised a rib or two..then made a mistake to take ones life over another..not my best move. I was not thinking straight, baby..and ran past a few stop signs as well to buy myself some time.”

“You broke into another Earth’s SHIELD headquarters and tricked a few people to get to another version of me..meanwhile Thiego was searching across the fields of earths causing some damage to strike a deal. You two could’ve been arrested for that.”

“I know. I know! I made that version of Cap to look like public enemy to SHIELD by causing that damage..I’m sorry, I messed up but it was because I was afraid..”

“..of losing me? Instead of staying with me and enjoying whatever time the universe is giving us..”

“Well if you say like that, I sound even worse.”

This time Elle snorted and chuckled shaking her head at his comment. She didn’t blame him for it, she knew the people in her life would do anything to make things right, find another way to fix things. Even if it meant getting hurt or something.

Steve rested his forehead against hers, a simple yet gentle move he does plenty of time before during moments like this. She leaned into his touch. He sighed and smiled, letting out a chuckle.

After a moment tears came to the blink of her eyes as he spoke, “I got your note today..it was lovely. Bittersweet like a poem, almost like a song. You’re my first love, Elle. I don’t want to see you gone yet..but when it comes I won’t be as scared or furious as I think I would be..”

She smiled had her eyes wet and asked, “Why’s that?”

“Because I know you won’t be alone. None of us will. You gave me the greatest gifts I could ever ask for. I could not thank you enough for being my wife and friend from the day I woke up in this century. You gave me a beautiful little girl who laughs like you and has my mother’s name.”

“And Thiego likes to brag about her being his mini me.”

“This is about me, not him.”

Both of them laughed, snorting at the joke. She knew he was joking. Steve was being humorous with that last comment, of course he was happy that his brother in law got a wonderful gift as well.

She smirked, waved for him to continue his lovely speech, “Go on, Mr Rogers. I like where this is headed.”

“Don’t get cheeky with me now, Elle.” He replied with a smile and winked, “If you do, I might have to take you to bed later. In all seriousness, you are always gonna be my light in dark. Despite the problems we have had over the years, we always find a way to make it home to one another.”

“You are my home. My family.”

“And you’re mine. I know when the time comes I will see you again any form. Even if we’re both two little birds flying in the park.”

Elle paused for a second to understand what he meant by the birds reference, noticing his gaze fell to Sarah who was minding her own business watching the movie, as it clicked what he meant. She smiled at that, knowing that no matter who it is that goes first to fly around in heaven their daughter will be safe and sound.

She nodded at her husband and chuckled, “Yeah, two beautiful birds. I love Mr. Rogers.”

“I love more Mrs. Rogers.” He replied, leaning forward to cup her face with a hand and press a long awaited kiss onto her lips.

She leaned into his touch placing a hand to the back of his cheek as she returned kiss in full force.

They stayed there for a couple of moments, locking lips with one another whispering sweet nothings, resting their foreheads together out of old habits. Steve lazily wrapping an around her body, bringing her in closer using the other hand to reach over to tickle Sarah’s side grabbing her attention as she giggled trying to wiggle away from her parents.

Elle opened her arm, wiggling her fingers to tickle their daughter as tried to crawl away but Elle gently reached forwarded lifting Sarah into an embrace. The little girl giggled and smiled, curling into her mother’s arms in glee stealing a bite of the sandwich her mom didn’t finished, then placed the sandwich in front of her father who took bite himself humming.

Elle mock gasped, “Hey that was mine!”

Steve finished chewing and chuckled, “You didn’t finish it! And I’m hungry.”

“You’re always hungry.”

“Are not.”

Sarah giggled, “Yes you are, daddy! You and uncle Thor and uncle Bucky always are hungry.”

Steve gasped and tickled her, “Who’s side are you on, young lady?”

“Mommy’s side!”

The small family laughed smiling, deciding to enjoy the film that was placed on the TV.

Market Report on Vertical Farming Products: Understanding Size, Share, and Growth Trajectories

The global vertical farming market size is expected to reach USD USD 24.95 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 20.1% from 2023 to 2030. Increased use of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for producing crops is likely to spur market demand over the forecast period. Information obtained from the sensors is stored on the cloud and analyzed to perform the required actions. The growing automation in agriculture and increasing use of big data and predictive analytics for maximizing yields are also likely to drive the market.

Vertical farming is effective in ensuring stability in crop production and maintaining reliability even in adverse climatic conditions. It provides multiple benefits over the traditional farming technique, such as less use of water, the lesser need for agrochemicals, and low dependence on agricultural labor. Vertical farming makes use of metal reflectors and artificial lighting to maximize natural sunlight.

Genetically modified organisms and the environmental and health effects of pesticides and other non-natural substances that are used for increasing agricultural production have encouraged consumers to adopt organic foods. According to the Organic Trade Association, the U.S. organic industry sales increased by around 5% in 2019 owing to the increased investment in infrastructure and education. As per the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990, the handlers and growers of organic products need to comply with the regulations.

Artificial lighting helps in extending the hours of natural daylight, which further increases the health, growth rate, and yield of the plants. Artificial lighting such as high-pressure sodium lighting and LED lighting can extend the availability of crops (throughout a season). LED lighting systems produce a dual-band color spectrum and generate low heat. They are anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

A hydroponic system is a method of growing plants without soil. A hydroponic system eliminates the need for pesticides and artificial ripening agents and helps in producing nutritionally-rich vegetables. However, factors such as high initial investment and fewer crop varieties are likely to restrain the market growth.

Vertical Farming Market Report Highlights

The escalating production of biopharmaceutical products is anticipated to drive the market

The shipping container segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022. Shipping container-based farming uses less water than traditional farming with drip irrigation. Shipping containers can be easily stacked, modified, recycled, and refurbished at a lower cost. Additionally, the excess availability of unused shipping containers across the region will likely influence segment growth over the forecast period

The hardware segment accounted the largest market share in 2022. The hardware plays a significant role in maintaining the environment of the indoor farms. The segment is further categorized into climate control systems, lighting systems, sensors, and irrigation systems, which enables the cultivation of indoor-grown crops

The fruits vegetables, & herbs segment is also expected to have considerable growth over the forecast period. The increasing cultivation of commonly grown fruits and vegetables in greenhouses is driving the segment growth. Crops grown in vertical farming provide maximum profit to companies involved in their cultivation

Based on offering, the climate control segment is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period as the growth of crops can be controlled by monitoring and adjusting the concentrations of minerals

By growing mechanism, the aeroponics segment is expected to observe considerable growth over the forecast period as the aeroponics facilitate fast growth in plants (under normal conditions)

The North American regional market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to the expansion of small-scale, commercial vertical farms

I’m looking for a good breed of clown for a first time clown caretaker, I am from the Midwest and in a semi rural area, so I was looking at the County Fair Funzo clowns, as I do live near a lot of the other farm animals and species native to that environment, though I was also looking at the farmers market fundie as I am also in a location Lucky enough to have both outdoor and indoor farmers markets in the winter time

This breed however I worry about their tendency to over share about their own imaginary friends as they are prone to do. While I do know that it is a neecissary part for their varieties enrichment, I worry with my Midwest location on the bivalve belt they could become infected with the Jesus bug virus that’s been an issue in their breed in the recent years. The last thing I want is to have them end up socializing with evangelic clowns as they are known to get aggressive to those that aren’t part of their breed, and I worry for them trying to fit in and wind up in an unsafe situation.

Sorry it’s a bit rambly, a lot of the research has been very mixed and contradicting, and feed back is appreciated

Indoor Farming Market Outlook for Forecast Period (2023 to 2030)

Indoor Farming Market was valued at USD 34790 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 53570 million by the year 2028, at a CAGR of 6.36%.

The rising interest in indoor farming has been acting as a critical point for the food supply chain as the world population is expected to gain 9.8 billion by 2050, and the effects of global warming on nutrient depletion in crops have been posing as a threat for crop production. In these situations, indoor farming has been proving to be an efficient way to produce more food with few resources than conventional farming, without depending on arable land availability and external climate conditions. The indoor farming industry is prominently by the greenhouse technologies, but due to increasing technological innovations and interest among the growers, other branches, such as aeroponics and hydroponics, are also observed to be growing.

Found spoons. Not the spoons I was looking for, but spoons.

Fewer things in life were nicer than a nap on a weekend afternoon. 

They were lazy. Cozy. Something Adam Parrish never got enough of prior to hitting thirty, so, since then, he took them every opportunity he could. First in his Petworth apartment, and then in his condo in Columbia Heights. Mostly on his couch, but more recently in his bed.

There weren't many couches large enough to comfortably accommodate two sleeping thirty-eight-year-old men. 

Because Adam's naps were no longer solo affairs, and he liked them better that way, warmer and wrapped around his boyfriend, Ronan Lynch. Ronan hadn’t been a napper, but Adam converted him, though it hadn't taken much proselytizing, just a suggestive look and a shirt dropped on the floor outside the bedroom door.

They napped on Saturdays after coming home from the farmers market, and on Sundays when Ronan came back from going to mass with his brothers. And if they weren't in D.C., on the weekends Adam went to Ronan instead, they had the same kind of routine in Ronan’s bed at the Barns, his farm in rural western Virginia.

That weekend though, they were in Washington, and despite it being very fine weather for July, a day where D.C. wasn’t the swamp it became in the summer months, Adam and Ronan laid cocooned in blankets and sheets. They’d spent the morning out, getting breakfast, picking up groceries, finally getting Ronan a phone charger he could leave at Adam’s, but afterward, it was back to bed.

Arms tangled around each other as fingers tangled in t-shirts.

Ronan’s slow, even breaths warm against Adam’s neck.

Ronan’s buzz cut soft under Adam’s nose.

If he never had to leave his bed again, Adam would be perfectly content.

But as much as Adam wanted to, they couldn’t stay in bed much longer. The alarm Adam set for 3:30 woke him, even if it didn’t wake Ronan, and Adam moved only enough to reach across the bed and snoozed his phone before wrapping his arm around his boyfriend again. He’d give Ronan another few minutes—though it was mostly self-serving; Adam liked the way Ronan’s body half-covered his own, the way it weighed him down a little. He relished in it, probably for a bit too long, because his snoozed alarm started again, and that time it did wake Ronan up.

Micromovements tipped Adam off first that Ronan was awake, an elbow twitching, then flexing fingers. Then the covers rustled as Ronan stretched his legs out and tucked his bare feet between Adam’s calves, and as he buried his face further into the side of Adam’s neck, Ronan groaned, “Don’t wanna move. Tell them we’re not coming.”

 Laughing, Adam slid a hand up Ronan’s back to cup his skull, and he turned his face into the side of Ronan’s head and kissed it. “Come on. You know how much that’ll disappoint Gansey.”

Ronan’s stubble dragged against Adam’s throat as he lifted his head so he could look down at Adam. “Don’t care,” he murmured. “He’s gonna make it weird anyway.” Still a little bleary eyed from their nap, a crease from the pillow they’d been sharing imprinted on his cheek, Ronan’s usual edges were worn down and he looked—softer. It made Adam want to not move either, made him want to text Gansey and Blue and reschedule their double date so he and Ronan could laze in bed all night. “God, it’s gonna suck.”

“You’re the one who wanted to go,” Adam told him, keeping his annoyance at a minimum. They weren’t at the Barns that weekend because Ronan wanted to go out with Gansey and Blue. Since Adam and Ronan began dating, there had been a never-ending stream of suggestions to go out to dinner together, to go to the movies together, to go to a museum together. Adam was always willing, but Ronan was the hold out, until the suggestion was indoor miniature golf and cocktails at a place that just opened in D.C. 

Ronan needed to do something, he’d explained, not just sit in a chair or stand in front of a painting. Adam had countered that Ronan could have told Gansey that, considering they’d been friends for over twenty years, but Ronan hadn’t liked that suggestion either. 

“That was a week ago,” Ronan replied, reaching up to push his fingers through Adam’s hair. “Before you looked the way you do now.” 

Bedhead and a wrinkled t-shirt weren’t Adam’s best look, in his opinion, but he liked that Ronan liked it. Liked it enough to comment on it, though Ronan usually didn’t have a problem saying how he felt in regards to Adam’s looks. He didn’t have a problem showing it either, and he tugged Adam’s hair as he leaned down and kissed Adam, quick and more than a little dirty. 

“Lynch, no,” Adam laughed, but he kissed Ronan back before curving his hand around Ronan’s jaw and pushing him away. “You’re—” 

Adam knew what Ronan was—mildly horny—but he wouldn’t say it. He didn’t want to draw attention to the fact, like putting it into words would be the spark that sent the evening up in flames. Because if Ronan kept kissing Adam and running his fingers through Adam's hair, Adam would join him in mild horniness, which would escalate to full horniness, which would escalate to canceling their double date to spend the evening in bed. While Adam wasn’t opposed to that idea, he’d been looking forward to beating Ronan at minigolf. 

Shifting so Ronan had to move off of him, Adam propped himself up on an elbow, looked down at Ronan, and said, “It’s not gonna suck. And you already knew Gansey would make it weird. He makes everything a little weird.” 

“A little puts it lightly.” 

“Probably, yeah.” 

Curling an arm behind his head, green snake scale tattoo vibrant against the white sheets, Ronan grabbed Adam’s free hand and tangled their fingers together. He looked at their hands for a second, rubbing his thumb over Adam’s knuckles a few times before he looked back at Adam. “Do we have to?” 

If they were going out with anyone else, Adam would have said they had to go, but it was only Gansey and Blue, the people who knew Adam and Ronan best, the people who would understand if they postponed. But Adam and Ronan would have to face them eventually. They’d been able to successfully avoid a double date with Gansey and Blue for two months, but they wouldn’t be able to avoid it forever. Better to go miniature golfing now than wait another two months for another suggestion Ronan was amenable to. 

But if Ronan really didn’t want to go, they wouldn’t go, and, shaking his head, Adam smiled wryly at Ronan. “Not if you don’t want to. But it would be kind of—uncouth,” he said, stealing one of Gansey’s words, “if we canceled an hour before we’re supposed to meet them.” 

“Shit. I wouldn’t want to be uncouth.” Ronan rolled his eyes, and, only serving to encourage Ronan’s behavior, Adam laughed. A little at first, then harder when Ronan smirked, a small, wicked curve at the corner of his lips, and it was just a single moment in a sea of them, but it was one of the things that made being with Ronan so good. So easy. Laughing. Slipping into occasional bouts of immaturity. Things Adam hadn’t even known he’d been missing. Things that made him light. 

Things that made him happy.

Letting go of Adam’s hand, Ronan wrapped both arms around Adam’s shoulders and pulled him down so he laid on top of Ronan. For a moment, Ronan buried his nose in Adam’s hair and didn’t say anything, and Adam let him take his time to put his words together, enjoying the feel of Ronan’s breath moving his hair. Eventually, Ronan said, voice low, “I want to go, but—For one, Gansey’s gonna be weird as hell. He’ll be all sentimental and proud and happy and—Don’t laugh. He will be.” Ronan wrestled Adam onto his back and pinned Adam’s shaking shoulders to the bed, staring down at him. “You didn’t see him when I told him about our first date. I swear, Adam, he was two seconds from weeping with joy.” 

“Sounds like Gansey.” Adam put his hands on Ronan’s cheeks and after tracing Ronan’s cheekbones, he used his thumbs to turn Ronan’s slight scowl upward until Ronan started smiling for himself. Smiling a little back, Adam asked, “What’s for two?” 

“For two—” Ronan kissed one of Adam’s thumbs and then the other, and he paused a moment before continuing. “I like being alone with you. I don’t have to—I don’t know—perform. And we can leave whenever the hell we want.” 

“We can still leave whenever the hell we want,” Adam told him, cheeks warming a little at Ronan saying he preferred spending time with Adam and just Adam. They went out, they got dinner, they went hiking, places they weren’t alone alone, but it was always as if they were in an Adam-and-Ronan terrarium others got near but never entered. It would be different going out as a foursome rather than a twosome, but Adam thought it might be a good kind of different. "Pull on your ear or look at me cross-eyed or something and I'll make up some excuse to go."

"We can't just leave," Ronan said, leaning down and resting his forehead on Adam's, and to avoid a cramp from the weird angle, Adam moved his hands from Ronan's cheeks to his ribs. “Sargent will kill us.” 

“Yeah," Adam agreed, "I wouldn’t put that past her.” 

“And it’ll break Gansey’s delicate heart.” 

“It probably will.” 

This close, all Adam could see was icy blue eyes, but he was pretty sure a smile split Ronan's face. Under his hands, Ronan's ribs rose and fell, and it was tempting to inch his hands beneath Ronan's shirt, to trace lines of tattoos Adam memorized weeks ago, but if Adam did that, he'd turn into the one who didn't want to leave. 

"I want to go," Ronan repeated after they shared space and air quietly for a few moments. "If you do."

"I want us to go," Adam replied, "so I can kick your ass at minigolf and hold it over your head."

"That's how you think it's going to go?" Ronan asked, climbing off of Adam and out of bed, pulling Adam up with him. "I think you're going to be disappointed, Parrish. I'm fucking amazing at minigolf."

Laughing, Adam pushed Ronan toward his weekender bag, the one that came to Washington full and left empty because Ronan's clothes had started assimilating with Adam’s in the hamper and then in the dresser. "I guess we'll see, Lynch, but don't think too highly of yourself."

While they changed—Adam persuaded Ronan into a pair of dark gray shorts that showed off half of the tree tattoo that spanned his right leg from ankle to thigh—they debated the merits of a ride share versus public transportation versus walking. Ronan stepping onto Adam’s balcony and saying, “Jesus, it’s nice out,” decided the matter, and they made the thirty-minute walk to DuPont Circle. 

“We actually thought you were fake dating,” Blue said when they met her and Gansey at their destination. “Like you told us you were going out so we wouldn’t think you were lonely losers.” 

“That doesn’t make sense,” Adam replied. He and Ronan were already one romantic comedy trope. They didn’t need to be shoehorned into another. “Wouldn’t we want you to see us together if we were fake dating?” 

“Plus, Parrish is still a loser,” Ronan added as he draped his arm around Adam’s neck. “He’s just not lonely anymore.” 

“Thank you, Ronan.” 

“My pleasure.” Ronan pulled Adam closer and kissed his cheek, and Ronan’s affection wasn’t something Adam normally blushed at, but the fondness on Gansey’s face as he watched the two of them made heat flare through Adam’s face to the tips of his ears. 

“Well, I, for one, am glad there’s nothing fake about you dating,” Gansey said sincerely, and Adam was certain his cheeks and ears went from pink to red. Always the gentleman and always looking to make all participating parties comfortable, Gansey steered the conversation away from Adam-and-Ronan and said, “Shall we golf?” 

They golfed. 

Blue won, because she was the only one who took their game seriously, even though Adam made an attempt to. From his first putt, Ronan openly sabotaged Gansey, and with his turn between Gansey’s and Ronan’s, Adam’s ball was caught in the crossfire. By the third hole, Adam gave up trying to win, let alone make par, and settled for not losing. That, at least, was achievable, despite Ronan’s sabotage and the extensive cocktail list that complemented the street food the bar served. 

Throughout the course of the evening, Ronan never once pulled on his ear, and he never looked at Adam cross-eyed. 

It was still light out when they left, though the sky was lilac and coral and pink, not the brilliant blue it had been when they’d arrived. Hugs were exchanged, and so were promises to do it again sooner than two months from now, and since it was a very nice night that followed the very nice day, Adam and Ronan walked back to Adam’s condo. No sooner were they through the front door than hand was in hand and one arm was draped around a waist while another wound around a neck, and as they started waltzing a little in the living room, Ronan called out, “Alexa, play Ronan’s Music.” 

“No!” Adam laughed when squash one, squash two flooded from the speaker, and he gently shoved Ronan’s cheek when Ronan dropped his head back and cackled. “Alexa, skip song.” Leaning in to kiss Ronan’s exposed neck as the song changed to something more tolerable, a slow folk ballad full of fiddles and a bodhran, Adam murmured, “You come into my home, make your own playlist, and put that awful thing as the first song.” 

“You like it,” Ronan replied, tightening his arm around Adam’s waist and tipping his head down so his cheek rested against Adam’s as they swayed.

Adam could deny it. He hated the song. But he liked that, from the first time Ronan came over, Ronan made himself at home. Small things: a bar of his soap in the shower, the hot sauce he liked in the cabinet, his favorite beer in the fridge. Small things that made Adam feel like Ronan was there, even on the days he wasn’t, like Ronan’s life was already all tangled up and deeply rooted in Adam’s. 

So as they danced there in the living room, rotating in small circles to some Gaeilge Adam would never understand, Adam settled his cheek against Ronan’s, and all he said, just loud enough for Ronan to hear, was, “Yeah. Yeah, I do.”
