We live in an era where rapid urbanization and environmental concerns are at the forefront of global discussions. By 2050, it's estimated that nearly 70% of the global population will live in urban areas. Concurrently, we face the pressures of climate change and finite resources, which significantly affect conventional agriculture. The search for a sustainable, efficient, and city-friendly farming method has led us to the promising realm of vertical farming.
Challenges and Mastery
However, while vertical farming brings exciting possibilities, it also comes with its own set of challenges and complexities. The mastery of vertical farming requires understanding not just traditional horticulture, but also systems design, climate control, lighting technologies, nutrient management, and more. Moreover, the organic approach demands a careful balance of these elements to avoid the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. That’s where this book comes in.
