Vertical farming can be defined as a practice of producing food on vertically inclined surfaces instead of farming vegetables and food on a single level, such as in a field or a greenhouse. Through this method, foods are produced in vertically stacked layers commonly integrated into other structures such as a skyscraper, shipping container, or used warehouse. The modern ideas of vertical farming are focused on controlling all environmental factors by utilizing indoor farming techniques and controlled-environment agriculture (good) technology. The artificial control of light, temperature, humidity, and gases makes producing foods & vegetables indoor possible. The primary goal of vertical farming is to increase the production of crops in a controlled space.
Vertical farms are classified as a form of controlled environment agriculture and further categorized into three types. The first type of farming refers to the construction of tall structures with several levels of growing beds, that are lined with artificial lights. The second type of vertical farming takes place on the rooftops of buildings (such as commercial and residential structures), while the third type of vertical farming takes place in a multistory building. It provides a favorable environmental condition for the growth of fruits and vegetables and non-edible plants. Vertical farming strives to ensure sustainability by addressing food security issues to the growing urban population. Vertical farming can also feed more people than traditional farming, as they are capable of growing 75 times more food per square foot. Vertical Farms does not use pesticides & fungicides, and by controlling plant fertilizing, the food produced is highly nutritious compared to traditional farming. Furthermore, indoor farms use 90 percent less water than outdoor farms, so having a wet or dry season doesn’t matter.
Vertical farming technologies are still relatively new. Companies are focused on producing crops at scale, making it economically feasible to meet the growing food demand. In some environments such as the Middle East region, for instance, use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without covering out other farmland. At present, virtually all vegetables are imported into the country, so growing crops through this method is a big win.
