Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers, often incorporating controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technology to optimize plant growth. Unlike traditional farming, these facilities use soil-less farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, or aeroponics. By utilizing LED lighting and climate control systems, vertical farms aim to provide local produce in urban centers year-round, significantly reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance food transport and reducing water usage by up to 95%.
