Rockwell Automation Partners with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and Fork Farms to Address Hunger with Clock Tower Farms
Rockwell Automation, a leader in industrial automation, has announced a partnership with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and Fork Farms to create Clock Tower Farms. This initiative, located at Rockwell's Milwaukee headquarters, aims to address hunger by utilizing hydroponic farming technology from Fork Farms and automation technology from Rockwell. The facility will house 72 Fork Farms Flex Acre hydroponic systems, designed to grow 200,000 pounds of leafy greens and other produce annually. The project is expected to save 5.9 million gallons of water and conserve 5.5 acres of conventional crop land. The fresh produce will be distributed directly to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin's network, enhancing food access for communities in need.
