Vertical Farming is cultivating plant life in a skyscraper green house
The modern idea of vertical farming uses techniques similar to glass houses, where natural sunlight can be augmented with artificial lighting
"Vertical farming" was created by Gilbert Ellis Bailey in 1915 in his book Vertical Farming
Some benefits that come from Vertical Farming are preparation for the future, increase crop production, protection from weather related problems and etc
But some problems that could happen are pollution, energy use, and economy
Many countries around the world are seriously interested in vertical farming
Many people argue that we have the technology to construct vertical farming now
Vertical farming relies on the use of various physical methods to become effective. Combining these technologies and devices in an integrated whole is necessary to make Vertical Farming a reality. Various methods are proposed and under research. The most common technologies suggested are:
Greenhouse
The Folkewall and other vertical growing architectures [35]
