Abstract

Agricultural land is becoming more scarce and costly. As the world's population grows, so does the need for food and land, requiring the maximization of food production per unit area. As a result, attention is being drawn to the vertical framing method, which entails planting crops in stacked layers one on top of the other in order to increase agricultural output per unit amount of land. This page covers the whole idea of developing agricultural areas, including the different classifications and methods utilized throughout the globe. Agriculture is very important in many cities. Thousands of acres of forest land are plowed up, resulting in the loss of thousands of acres of land. Finally, it seems that the idea of a vertical farm in the heart of a metropolis may address a variety of real-world food production and environmental problems. Droughts, floods, storms, and other extreme weather events would no longer cause crop failure. As a result, vertical farming creates a sustainable city environment that attracts people to reside there because of the clean air, safe drinking water, safe disposal of public liquid waste, new job opportunities, and fewer abandoned lots and projects. Vertical farming benefits from rainy and warm temperatures throughout the year. They have abundant natural resources such as extended hours of sunshine and adequate water from daily rain to grow and can easily reduce cooling and heating water, usage of interior temperature, and artificial light. This paper discusses several aspects of vertical farming.
