Introduction
Did you know that the global agriculture industry is responsible for up to 30% of all greenhouse gas emissions?
This means that it’s one of the largest contributors to climate change. That’s why we need alternative solutions like vertical farming, which has been around for decades but only recently started gaining traction. Vertical farms are optimized for sustainability, using less land than traditional farming and can optimize space required for growing and harvesting agriculture using hydroponics or aeroponics technology. This article will explore the benefits of vertical farms and how they can provide a solution to the problems that come with farming in cities.

Introduction
Vertical farming is an exciting new way to produce food, and it offers a lot of benefits that traditional farming methods can’t match. Vertical farming practices are a relatively new phenomenon, but it’s growing in popularity for a good reason – it offers a lot of benefits. But what is vertical farming, exactly?
What is Vertical Farming and Why Should You Care?
Vertical farming is the practice of producing food in vertically stacked layers, vertically inclined surfaces and/or integrated in other structures (such as in a skyscraper, used warehouse, or shipping container).
Vertical farms are facilities that employ vertical growing techniques to grow crops indoors efficiently. Many types of plants may be Read More
Intro
Vertical farming has been in practice for decades and by now we know the ins and outs of the process. If you’re looking to start your own vertical farm, here are some things you need to know before you do.
The first step is to decide which type of vertical farming you want to use. There are two types: aeroponics and aquaponics. Aeroponics grows plants with their roots suspended in the air, misted by a nutrient-rich water fog. Aquaponics grows plants with their roots submerged in nutrient rich water and they also receive doses of microalgae for nutrients.
Both methods have their pros and cons, so you’ll need to decide which Read More
