Unit 2 Working the land
Ⅰ.阅读理解
As experts warn of a coming food crisis，the vertical farming industry aims to create plants that offer more nutritional value and require fewer resources.In verticalfarms，plantsaregrown indoors.Each set of plants is placed above another.Workers control the climate and closely monitor each plant’s growth.
AeroFarms is one of the top indoor－farming companies.One of its vertical farms is in a large building near a busy road in Newark，New Jersey.It grows more than 250 kinds of greens and herbs.Farmers wear gloves，coats and coverings on their head.Their shoes must be cleaned.
AeroFarmsgrowscropsat thesame rate throughout the year.The methods it uses lower soil erosion(侵蚀)．They also reduce the amount of pesticides(杀虫剂) and water needed to grow the crops.The company says carbon emissions (碳排放)areheavilyreduced.DavidRosenbergisthe co－founder and chief executive officer of AeroFarms.“We could do this whether it is in the Sahara Desert or a city like Newark，”he said.“We think about how we can really bring and celebrate different types of greens.”
Alina Zolotareva is a dietitian and nutritionist at AeroFarms.She says she wants people to eat more leafy greens like kale，one of the most nutritionally dense foods.She says if her company is to successfully encourage this kind of healthy eating，it must grow crops that tastegood.“Americans especially don’t eat enough vegetables，and so for me the most exciting part is all of the different flavors that we have here.”CEO David Rosenberg believes the company’s kale is tasty.“A lot of people like the nutritional density of kale，but they don’t like the taste.So we can make a sweeter kale，”he said.
Recent World Bank studies predict that an estimated global population of 9 billion in 2050 will require at least 50 percent more food.Experts say the crisis will be worsened
by climate change，which they believe will reduce crop harvests by more than 25 percent during that time.
