vertical agriculture

Vertical agriculture is a modern farming method where crops are grown in stacked layers or vertically inclined surfaces, often within controlled environments like buildings or greenhouses. This approach maximizes space use, reduces land requirements, and can be implemented in urban areas. It relies on advanced technologies such as hydroponics, aeroponics, and LED lighting to optimize plant growth. By minimizing water usage and eliminating the need for pesticides, vertical agriculture offers a sustainable way to produce fresh food year-round, contributing to food security and reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional farming.
