Deskripsi

The depletion of usable agricultural lands has brought up a scenario of vertical farming. This type of farming is mostly considered soil-less farming in the vertical direction. Three of the commonly used soil-less ways for vertical farming include hydroponic, aeroponic, and aquaponic. Although it is not very popular in developing countries, investment has been made by many European counties and efforts to use vertical farming as a commercial product are on the path to success. Food security issues can be addressed through this farming type as well.
