Abstract

To bring the food sustainability with less pressure on natural resources, we need to significantly transform the way agriculture utilizes natural resources. Vertical farming is one such way of transformation of agriculture. Vertical farming is the practice of growing produce in vertically stacked layers. The practice can include hydroponic or aeroponic growing methods. In hydroponic system, we can reduce water requirement by 70%. The use of aeroponics further reduces water requirements.
