As population in urban areas across the world continues to grow, it is estimated that by 2050, 68 percent of the world population will live in cities. This demographic shift will lead to increased demand for food within cities, adding strain to the agricultural and food systems, particularly in developing countries.
Urban agriculture, or urban farming, has long been viewed as an innovative component in diversifying the food system. A 2018 study of urban agriculture’s global potential found that fully implemented urban farms around the world could produce as much as 180 million metric tons of food per year, upwards of 10 percent of the global output of legumes, roots and tubers and vegetable crops. And that doesn’t account for the beneficial byproducts like energy savings, reduced waste and others. Urban farming is rapidly becoming an integral piece of the US agricultural system and is attracting investment to pour into related development and researches. One area of investment, both private and public, is vertical farming.
Vertical farming offers innovative solutions to meet the growing demand for fresh produce. The potential of vertical farming is the ability to grow crops, primarily leafy greens, vertically in small indoor areas, with reduced water use and in environments that are carefully controlled.
