What is a vertical farm?

Vertical farming is key to the future of farming and will become a fundamental part of the overall agricultural ecosystem, but it will not take place of traditional farming. Modern agriculture faces a number of challenges, which will only be exacerbated as climate and population conditions change.

Vertical farming has the serious potential to address areas of global agricultural and environmental need with a committed and innovative community driving its adoption. Across the globe there are major challenges driving the need for a huge and urgent transformation in how we produce and distribute

Vertical farming is the practice of producing food in vertically stacked layers. The modern ideas of vertical farming use indoor farming techniques and total controlled-environment agriculture (TCEA) technology, where all environmental factors can be controlled to optimise plant growth.
