Everyone who thinks about traditional cultivations and associates them with pesticides and other unhealthy chemicals that are used there all the time. Vertical farms are a good alternative to traditional farming. In the future, they will provide good quality food and at the same time be environmentally friendly. They are placed in special rooms that prevent the influence of external conditions such as climate and weather. Also, there is no risk of destruction or contamination of cultivations by the surrounding environment.

We have all heard about civilization diseases that result from an unhealthy lifestyle, i.e. lack of exercise and poor nutrition. Manufactured food is often dangerous to our health. The reasons for this state of affairs eliminate vertical farms, and more precisely allow the removal of the following threats:

• the use of pesticides, which are plant protection and kill all weeds, pests and fungi, but they can cause cancer, neurological and hormonal disorders and birth defects
• the use of fertilizers that increase yields and improve their quality by supplying the soil with nutrients necessary for plant growth, may have a detrimental effect on human health and cause eutrophication
• foodborne diseases, bacteria can be transferred from fertilizer to agricultural crops, diseases are caused by the consumption of contaminated products, for example, salmonellosis or viral hepatitis, the appearance of this problem is also influenced by a very long supply chain and the involvement of a large group of people in distribution
• small variety of cultivations, often due to climatic conditions in a given place, which negatively affects the diversity of people’s diet

On the basis of the above examples, it can be easily concluded that the development of vertical farms will reduce the risk of health problems both for farmers and end users. At the same time, it can help reduce the carbon footprint because food from vertical farms will be bought by inhabitants of the city. It wil be used the latest solutions for distribution of orders over short distances.
