Indoor vertical agriculture, also known as high-rise vertical farming, is one of the most promising solutions to one of the biggest challenges our planet face: food insecurity. As food shortages become more likely in the light of climate change and population growth, vertical agriculture can offer a viable alternative to conventional agriculture, using a fraction of the water and land resources. This highly innovative way of growing crops is made possible by the latest LED lighting technology. As they emit very little heat, LEDs can be placed near plants without burning them, serving as a surrogate for sunlight. This means that crops can be stacked vertically and grown virtually anywhere, including buildings in urban areas.
