vertical farms
Indoor tower cultivation
Vertical farms are agricultural facilities that grow crops in stacked layers, typically indoors under controlled conditions.
They use artificial lighting, hydroponics, and climate control to produce food year-round regardless of weather or season.
The approach maximizes yield per square foot and reduces water usage, though energy costs remain high: The company operates vertical farms in old warehouses across the Midwest.
