Vertical farming refers to the cultivation of crops in multiple layers that are stacked vertically, typically within an indoor environment, using controlled-environment agriculture techniques. This method involves employing soilless farming methods such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics, where plants are grown without traditional soil and instead receive nutrients through water or mist.
Vertical farming allows for efficient space utilization and precise control over environmental factors, making it possible to optimize crop growth and yield in a controlled and sustainable manner.
