The Vertical Farm: Controlled Environment Agriculture (book)

"The Vertical Farm: Controlled Environment Agriculture" explores the concept of growing food in vertically stacked layers or structures, often in urban settings. This approach uses technology to create controlled environments that optimize conditions for crop production, including light, temperature, and humidity. By reducing the need for land and minimizing transportation costs, vertical farming aims to address food scarcity and environmental challenges. The book highlights innovative farming techniques, the potential for year-round crop production, and the benefits of sustainable practices that can lead to more resilient food systems in rapidly urbanizing populations.
