About this book

Vertical farming is an innovative concept that allows for the production of environmentally friendly food in large quantities directly within urban areas. It involves indoor farming in vertical greenhouses, where multi-storey buildings known as "farm scrapers" are constructed on top of each other. These buildings typically incorporate a circular economy and hydroponics, facilitating resource conservation and continuous production throughout the year.By utilizing vertical farming, vegetables can be grown anywhere in the world, in a space-efficient manner and independent of climatic conditions. The aim is not only to address the increasing food demand but also to alleviate pressure on traditional agriculture. Additionally, long transportation distances are eliminated, reducing CO2 emissions through the implementation of a circular economy model.Critics, however, view vertical farming as an unnatural form of agriculture, with artificial lighting and the associated energy consumption being the primary points of contention.
