Vertical farming set to reach dizzy heights

Much has been written about vertical farming in the past year or two. It is seen as an effective way to deal with the growing needs for food, coupled with the pressure on traditional agriculture. A report from Allied Market Research details what this will mean over the coming ten years or so.

Vertical farming is an innovative approach used to produce food in vertically stacked layers such as in used warehouses, or shipping containers. The benefits are easy to see. It facilitates the production of huge quantities of nutritious and quality fresh food without relying on favorable weather, high water usage, skilled labor, and high soil fertility. Moreover, it enables reliable yield and consistency along with climate control, and no effects of external environmental factors such as disease, pest, or predator attacks.
