It’s about time: temporal and spatial fixes find vertical farms and local food in the shadow of COVID-19

ABSTRACT This paper investigates what investments in shorter supply chains, especially post-outbreak (COVID), mean in relation to broader agrifood corporatization trends. The paper draws from 25 interviews with individuals connected to large-scale vertical farming operations in the US and Canada, from investors and executives of vertical agriculture firms to managers of restaurants and grocery stores that sourced from capital-intensive indoor farms. The spatial fix literature is used to interrogate this push to pursue local food in COVID’s shadow through capital-intensive vertical agriculture, noting these farms are as much about a time as they are about a place.
