Finding solutions for a sustainable food future means looking at different solutions for food production in cities as well as in rural areas. And two of these solutions are urban farming and vertical farming. And with both of these growing strongly, we had to ask: What’s the difference between urban and vertical farming.
Urban farming and vertical farming are both types of farming found in cities. Urban farming is any food production in cities. Vertical farming involves stacking production in vertical space. Some urban farms may use vertical farming solutions, but not all urban farming is vertical farming.
