Different types of farming methods as of 2012. Startup costs, and comparison. Production times, system types, water and electric consumption information is also included.
Cities today are constantly under pressure to accommodate a growing urban population and their increasing demand for various resources, such as energy, water, waste management, transportation, and food. Some of these resources are basic living requirements, and the most important of those being food. According to the current practices, food demand is mostly met by food grown on farmland away from the cities. This creates a bigger carbon footprint due to transportation, farming energy usage as well as environmental damage through agricultural contaminants, etc. Additionally, traditional farming often encounters climate extremes and disasters making it more difficult for farmers to survive. Hence there is a need to explore alternative techniques which can address issues concerned with traditional farming practices, one of such techniques is vertical farming. It is essentially a combination of variety of technologies, placed in an urban setting to help reduce most of the issues related to urban food demands and be environmentally less damaging at the same time.

It is all about saving trees and environment. We know that day by day we cutting trees for our help to get food and home. But in this way we are chopping our self. In this presentation we can know more ideas about saving trees.
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.
This ppt will help you in understanding what is vertical farming and hydroponics which I believe to be the future of agriculture in urban areas.
This presentation won me second prize at my college.Hope it helps you all.
Advances in Vertical Farming by Dr. Brahma SinghDr. Brahma Singh
Traditional farming is threatened by resulting climate change, soil degradation and the loss of natural ecosystems. Another way of farming is needed not to replace it but supplement it to enforce sustainability. The answer is Vertical Farming which is consistently growing across geographies.
Vertical Farming, also known as CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture) refers to the practice of growing crops on vertically inclined surfaces and in vertically stacked layers.
Reasonable Supplements to Traditional Farming
Touches on why traditional farming alone will not sustain us in the future and what some solutions are - such as hydroponics, vertical farming, and aquaponics.
This presentation by Dr Renata Giedych from the Warsaw University of Life Sciences focuses on the role of urban agriculture in food security, leisure and economic development. It also shows the risks and benefits of urban agriculture.
To evaluate the scope of the vertical farming concept in the building levels of the future Indian cities. And thereby to analyze how well this concept can integrated be into the urban to sow the seeds for the future and to resolve the long-standing paradox of humanity’s inclination towards exponential demographic and economic growth while inhabiting a planet of limited resource material means.

Abstract
Worldwide, we are living so many crisis, not only a financial and economic one. We have energy, environment, agricultural and ecology problems to be solved, problems that could be summarized in a demographical challenge that needs to be addressed sooner or later. In this brief seminar, I would like to expose some problems related with food supply in our dense urban cities (our main problem in the closest future). It is time for solutions. From a wide variety of possibilities that have been proposed to address that challenge, I would like to point urban farming, specially, the vertical urban farming approach. Finally, I propose a frame to introduce urban farming it in Spain, where a real-state bubble has left so many "zombie" houses, houses that could be adapted to host vertical farms.

Impact of Technological Trends, Scenario Planning the Next Technological Para...Erdem Tokmakoglu
Revolutions and paradigm shifts represent the conclusion of exponential growth breaking through impediments that stand in front of it. These impediments take the form of business models, economic policies, political system, and the very fabric of society. As the first and second industrial revolutions show, when this growth brings new challenges to nearly all aspects of society. Utilizing scenario planning to accommodate for the uncertainty fundamental with these shifts, the authors have isolated key drivers and through them created four unique scenarios. Each of these scenarios has shown the interplay between access to technology, quality of education to imagine what the potential impact of new production technologies will be on society.
Presented in Yonsei GSIS Academic Conference.
This presentation explains why vertical farming is necessary, what the financial model is and how it it will become the the long-tem solution for many of the big world problems humans challenge today.
Heated competition to get into top private-equity funds is leaving some investors out in the cold.
Pension funds, endowments and wealthy individuals that invest with private equity are finding it increasingly hard to get into the most sought-after funds, according to data and industry participants.
Private-equity firms, which raise money from such investors and then put it to work in various investment strategies, are generally filling their coffers faster this year from clients. The proportion of private-equity funds that reached or exceeded the maximum amount the firms set out to raise this year is at its highest level since at least 2009, according to a snapshot of funds for which private-equity tracker Preqin has data. Typically, firms put a limit on the size of the fund they are raising, known as a hard cap, at the beginning of the fundraising process. That hard cap generally can’t be exceeded without approval from fund investors.
As of Nov. 13, 55% of roughly 280 funds for which Preqin had hard-cap data reached or surpassed that maximum size. Last year, 43% of funds hit or exceeded those limits.

Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium (known as geoponics). The word "aeroponic" is derived from the Greek meanings of aer (air) and ponos (labour).
Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics, aquaponics, and in-vitro (plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses a liquid nutrient solution as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth; or aquaponics which uses water and fish waste, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. It is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics, since water is used in aeroponics to transmit nutrients.
TERMINOLOGY
Aeroponic growing refers to plants grown in an air culture that can develop and grow in a normal and natural manner.
Aeroponic growth refers to growth achieved in an air culture.
Aeroponic system refers to hardware and system components assembled to sustain plants in an air culture.
Aeroponic greenhouse refers to a climate controlled glass or plastic structure with equipment to grow plants in air/mistenvironment.
Aeroponic conditions refers to air culture environmental parameters for sustaining plant growth for a plant species.
Aeroponic roots refers to a root system grown in an air culture.
