● Introduction to Vertical Farming
● What is vertical farming
● Why Grow Vertically
● Environmental impact
● Technology behind vertical farming
● Vertical farming vs traditional farming
● Crop selection in vertical farming
● Future of vertical farming
Introduction
Vertical farming is the practice of growing produce in vertically stacked layers.
Vertical farms come in different shapes and sizes, from simple two-level or wall-mounted
systems to large warehouses several stories tall.
Vertical farming typically uses a mix of natural light and artificial light. Artificial
lighting is often LED-based and may be driven by a renewable power source such
as solar power or wind turbines.
4
● Changing the way of farming from horizontal to vertical.
● New agricultural technique in order to maximizing the use of the land.
● These farms will be developed in major urban centers as a farm shopping
centre concept.
● Concern about the environmental, recycling waste and farming system.
● Vertical farming could provide year round food production and better crop
production
What is Vertical Farming
5
6
Why Grow Vertically?
● Lack of land space
● Costs in the delivery of food supplies
● Agricultural products are exposed to pesticides
● Increased and Year-round Crop Production
● Water containing pesticides and fertilizer wastes are not controlled
● Protection from Weather-related Problems

Environmental Impact
Water
70% of our freshwater supply goes to agriculture. 70% of water contamination comes from
agriculture.
Land
25% of the world’s land is now highly degraded, with soil erosion, water degradation and
biodiversity loss.
Carbon Emissions
from drilling for water, pumping from deeper reserves than ever before, operating tractors, tillers,
and harvesters, traditional commercial farming is quite energy intensive. vertical reduces harmful
transportation emissions by 98% on average.
Types of vertical farms
● Hydroponics
● Aeroponics
● Aquaponic

The Future…
Vertical Hydroponic Farming
17
It is estimated that by 2050 the
world’s population will have
boomed to 9.1 billion people.
According to the UN food
production will need to increase
by 70%.
A pioneer in this field of
sustainability, Dickenson
Despommier, a micro-biologist
and ecologist at Columbia
University’s School of Public
Health, sees vertical farming as
the answer to this problem.
