You are probably wondering what vertical farms are and how they work. Growing vegetables, fruits, herbs etc. it does not require soil and a huge field, and it is possible in closed rooms. They are vertical farms where the plants are placed one above the other, and this allows the maximum use of space in a given building. This characteristic feature makes it possible to establish such a food factory even in the center of a large city. Innovative agriculture is the future and can help take advantage of the many uninhabited flats or buildings in our cities, and have a huge advantage – the yields from vertical farms per unit area is greater than from traditional farms.

The method of cultivation may seem unreal but we can make it possible by the use of known techniques of soilless cultivation:

• hydroponics
• aeroponic
• aquaponic

One use an aqueous solution instead of soil and its composition includes nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, etc. The listed ingredients are necessary for the natural grow of plants. The closed circuit give water savings up to 90% compared to traditional cultivation in the field. On the other hand, the use of artificial light allows you to control the growth of plants in any way. Sensors record the most important parameters and adjust the conditions to the optimal ones for a given cultivation.
