INTRODUCTION

Vertical farming is the method of raising food on vertically inclined surfaces. Instead of
farming vegetables and other foods on a single level, such as in a field or a greenhouse, this
approach produces foods in vertically stacked layers typically incorporated into other structures
like a skyscraper, shipping container or repurposed warehouse.

This new concept uses indoor farming techniques using Controlled Environment
Agriculture (CEA) technology. Artificial regulation of temperature, light, humidity, and gas makes
it possible to manufacture indoor food and medicine. Vertical farming is similar in many respects
to greenhouses, where natural sunlight is enhanced by metal reflectors and artificial lighting.
Maximizing crop yield in a limited space is the primary objective of vertical farming.
