High up in vertical farming

Plants are grown in substrates or holding systems.

Energy consump­tion can be high, with the new tech­nology requiring pumps, venti­la­tion systems, LED lamps and more.

Sensors and cameras monitor irri­ga­tion, nutrient levels, mois­ture, and temper­a­ture. This could offer poten­tial benefit for “tradi­tional” farming methods.

Herbs, salads, or plants for the phar­ma­ceu­tical industry are usually grown.

Plants grow on verti­cally stacked shelves, making optimal use of space.

Water effi­ciency is good, with use being low as waste­water is collected, treated, and recy­cled.
