Vertical Farming: With Less Water, Over Smaller Areas
Vertical farms are also preferred because their food is organic, of high quality and the supply is predictable. Outlook Web Bureau Feb 17, 2021
Land and water are both receding as population of the world goes on increasing, and the responsibility to feed the people is getting harder by the day, which is why experts are suggesting various alternative means, like vertical farming.
Vertical farms can be indoors and can be placed anywhere, thus reducing the pressure to secure farmable land. Many farm consultants and professionals are reinventing and revolutionising the entire process.
