vertical farm
Indoor layered growing
A vertical farm is an indoor agricultural facility where crops are grown in stacked layers, typically in a controlled environment with artificial lighting and climate systems.
The vertical arrangement maximizes production in limited floor space, making it practical for urban areas: The vertical farm in the old warehouse produces lettuce year-round.
The approach uses hydroponic or aeroponic methods and eliminates weather dependence, though energy costs remain high.
