Global Vertical Farming Market Growth Is Expected To Be Driven Owing To Increasing Demand For Organic Food Among Consumers

Steven Burnett

Last updated on:May 13, 2019 Market.us

Vertical farming is a non-traditional way of growing crops in vertically stacked layers or integrated in other structures (such as in skyscraper or old warehouse) with minimal usage of pesticides, less area requirement, and less water consumption. It uses metal reflectors and artificial lighting to maximize natural sunlight.

Vertical farming is the urban farming of crops inside a building in a city or urban centre, where floors are designed to accommodate certain crops, as vertical farming creates an alternative source of sustainable food production units for urban needs and future generation.

Hydroponics is a process of growing plants without soil by using nutrient-rich solutions to feed the plants. In addition, it uses 70% less water as compared to open-field agriculture. Growing indoors can protect crops from environmental effects, such as increased global temperatures and drought, which can reduce the growth of the crop in some areas.
