The world population is constantly on the rise, and recent estimates expect the population to hit the 10 billion mark as early as 2050. The current state of the agriculture industry does not allow it to sustain this level of growth. Food shortage is already on the rise, and we can expect the dearth to continue to rise exponentially as well.
In order to combat the growing requirement of sustainable forms of agriculture, vertical farming has begun to emerge as a potential method to match this necessity. We look at the specifics of vertical farming, along with its numerous advantages, disadvantages, limitations, and challenges in this article.
