Vertical farming is an innovative agricultural practice that involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers or structures. This method utilizes controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technology, which optimizes plant growth by providing ideal conditions such as light, temperature, and humidity. Vertical farms can be established in urban areas, reducing the need for transportation and minimizing the carbon footprint associated with traditional farming methods.
Give vertical farming a try at home! Start small with a few jars or a single shelf of basil, mint, or lettuce under a lamp. Itβs a relaxing, space saving hobby that pays you back with fresh, pesticide-free greens in just a few weeks.
