Synopsis: Agricultural technology: Farming technique: Vertical farming:

This includes a greater emphasis on urban agriculture such as vertical farming which, properly designed and planned, could provide the sustainable means to improve food supply we need.

Vertical farming is promising because it requires no soil, and can save space and energy and improve crop yield.

Singapore has taken local urban farming to a high level Skygreens has built the world s first commercial vertical farm in large three-story greenhouses, providing a sustainable source of fresh vegetables.

The cost of growing Vertical farming s biggest limitation is energy consumption. Considerable energy is required to power a closed, indoor greenhouse facility s artificial lighting, heating and cooling

But the single technology that will be key to making vertical farms possible is lighting. New LED light technology is the key that makes it possible to build vertically integrated farms.

Vertical farming: A natural extension of urban agriculture, vertical farms would cultivate plant or animal life within dedicated

or mixed-use skyscrapers in urban settings. Using techniques similar to glass houses, vertical farms could augment natural light using energy-efficient lighting.

The advantages are numerous, including year-round crop production, protection from weather, support urban food autonomy and reduced transport costs.

In recent years, vertical farming has attracted a great deal of interest from environmentalists, architects, and urban planners. Such farms would use a similar artificial lighting

#Behind the Walls of the Largest Indoor farm in North america Farmedhere is the largest indoor vertical farm in the United states,

Vertical farming takes its name from growing plants on top of each other, often on tall racks indoors. These rooms are controlled climate to conditions that maximize the growth and yield of crop.

A major advantage of vertical farming is the sips of water it needs. Farmedhere for example, uses just 3 percent of water traditional farming methods might use.

PSFK has reported previously on vertical farming on the opposite side of the world. Most of which are developed in countries where abandoned tech megafactories are finding a new purpose in vertical farming.

Another startup in Japan is planning to build a fully automated vertical farm l

#Amazon Wants to Bring Augmented Reality to the Streaming Services Game With its recently-published patent for AR smart glasses,

the Internet giant introduces a new, disruptive element to watching video There no doubt as to the potential for augmented reality to change how we interact with our future world.

And a new development set to open in New jersey later this year is transforming an old steel factory into the world largest vertical farm.
