Vertical farming is a cutting-edge agricultural practice that involves cultivating crops in vertically-stacked layers or vertically-inclined surfaces. Unlike traditional farming methods relying on expansive horizontal fields, vertical farming maximizes space by utilizing stacked trays, shelves, or tall structures with integrated growing systems. This innovative approach offers several advantages, making it an increasingly popular solution for addressing challenges such as land scarcity, urbanization, and climate change.
