🛒 Industry Snapshot: Retailers Growing Their Own Produce

Major retailers like Walmart and Kroger are bringing farming closer to store shelves by partnering with indoor farms. By producing food on-site or nearby, they’re reducing supply chains, improving freshness, and fostering stronger connections with shoppers.

This trend isn’t just about fresher produce—it’s about rethinking how food reaches consumers. With supermarkets investing in vertical farms and greenhouse partnerships, new roles are opening up in farm management, supply chain, and retail-agtech operations.

Indoor farming isn’t just in cities or labs anymore—it’s in your grocery store.
