The Promise of Vertical Farming

Vertical farming presents a promising solution to the pressing issues faced by traditional agriculture, such as extreme weather and land scarcity. The technology allows for the cultivation of crops like strawberries, which previously required specific climate conditions, in a controlled environment that can be replicated worldwide. This method not only eliminates the need for pesticides but also allows for significant water recycling, making it an environmentally sustainable choice. Over five years, the costs of vertically farmed strawberries have dropped significantly, indicating the potential for these innovations to become mainstream and affordable in the near future.
