    It is expected that by 2050 the world’s population will grow to 9.7 billion.ย  Cumulatively, the Earth is losing its arable land area every day. Combining these two problems, sustaining the future population will be a huge challenge.ย ย 

    This need is one of today’s biggest challenges, and many people believe that vertical farming may be the answer.ย 

    Vertical farming is the practice of producing food on vertical surfaces. That is, instead of growing vegetables and other foods on one surface, such as in a field or greenhouse, as we are used to, this method produces food in vertical layers, which makes it possible to maximize crops in a limited space.ย 

    In fact, vertical farming technologies are still very new, but they are already starting to show their evidence. By 2020, the equivalent of about 30 ha of operational vertical farmland was recorded in the world. In addition,ย to this obvious advantage, hydroponic farming has already shown that it is capable of increasing lettuce yields by about 11 times (per area), while requiring 13 times less water. It is also the most suitable type of culture for cities, because it is the one that makes the most use of space, which is usually more expensive in cities, and takes advantage of the proximity to the consumer, reducing transport and increasing the freshness of food. Because of these advantages, hydroponics is the predominant cropping system used in vertical farming.ย ย 

    Is vertical farming, then, the future of agriculture?ย ย 

    This webinar “Vertical Farming: Today and Tomorrow” offered you the opportunity to learn about the possibilities of vertical farming and the industry perspective for solving today’s challenges and the solutions already successfully applied.
