A few points in the form of a list about the advantages of vertical farming over traditional agriculture and greenhouse agriculture: If we assume that a lettuce consumes 180 to 250 liters of water in the field to reach a weight of one kilogram, and the same amount in conventional greenhouses is about 30 to 60 liters, in vertical farming this amount is reduced to one liter of water per kilogram of product, which means a revolution in the discussion of water consumption.
Secondly, because it is an isolated system, it does not require chemical pesticides, meaning the product produced is 100% healthy.
These two items are enough to understand the importance of vertical farming in today’s world and what a special place it has in the future of modern agriculture.
