Square Roots aims to teach young people across US cities how to grow their own food in an urban setting. The company, co-founded by Elon Musk's younger brother Kimbal, also seeks to highlight the importance of locally-sourced and non-processed food. Square Roots started in Brooklyn where entrepreneurs grow crops including micro-greens and strawberries in year-long hydroponic farms set up in former shipping containers. It now wants to expand its urban farming service to cities like Chicago, Memphis, Dallas and St Louis.
