Description
Vertical farming is the agricultural process in which crops are grown on top of each other, rather than traditional, horizontal rows. Growing vertical allows for conservation of space, resulting in a higher crop yield per square foot of land used. Vertical farms are mainly located indoors, such as a warehouse, where they have the ability to control the environment conditions for plants to succeed. When using controlled agriculture technology, this modern idea uses indoor techniques The artificial control of temperature, light, humidity, and gases make producing foods and medicine possible. In many ways vertical farming is similar to greenhouse where metal reflectors and artificial lighting augment natural sunlight.There are a very key critical areas in understanding how vertical farming works,such as physical layout, lighting, growing medium and sustainability features. The important aim of vertical farming is to produce more food per square meter, to be able to achieve this responsibilities, crops are cultivated in stacked layers in stacked layers in a tower life structure. It is essential to note that a perfect combination of natural and artificial lights is used to maintain the perfect light level in the room. Technologies as rotating beds are used to improve lighting efficiency. As far as vertical farming is concern, instead of soil, acquaponics, aeroponics, and hydroponics growing medium are used.
