Global Vertical Farming System/Module Market Definition

Vertical farming can be defined as a practice of producing food on vertically inclined surfaces instead of farming vegetables and food on a single level, such as in a field or a greenhouse. Through this method, foods are produced in vertically stacked layers commonly integrated into other structures such as a skyscraper, shipping containers, or used warehouses. The modern ideas of vertical farming are focused on controlling all environmental factors by utilizing indoor farming techniques and controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technology. The artificial control of light, temperature, humidity, and gases makes producing foods & vegetables indoors possible. The primary goal of vertical farming is to increase the production of crops in a controlled space.

Global Vertical Farming System/Module Market Overview

The rise in awareness about sustainable farming due to an increase in urbanization and less availability of fertile land is one of the prominent driving factors for market growth. In addition, the increasing preference for locally grown food with higher nutrients in the urban areas supplements the also fueling the growth of the market. Furthermore, with the growing advancements in technology, factors such as automation and the implementation of artificial intelligence in various industry sectors are leading to an increased rate of urbanization.

However, high initial investments, lacking technical knowledge, and a limited variety of crops grown might hamper the overall market. Vertical farming is considered a highly sustainable and efficient way of producing food. For instance, Nordic Harvest uses 250 times less water than a traditional farm would require. Furthermore, vertical farming is less disruptive to native animals and plants because of its limited land usage, further protecting native wildlife and flora. As a result, the Vertical Farming System/Module Market in North America and other regions, such as the Middle East, have higher record amounts. Venture capitalists, individual investors, governments, and financial institutions are among the sector's major investors today.
