Now-a-days due to the increase in
population, the agricultural lands are turning into residential areas. Vertical
farming provides a solution for this problem. Vertical farming is the technique
of growing plants and crops in various levels of tall buildings that are
located in the middle of the city. In this technique, the roots are not in the
soil, but they grow in a nutrition rich solution. The main challenge is that
how sunlight would penetrate these tall buildings and how it would be evenly
distributed while artificial lights can cost a lot. Crops that are grown in
traditional outdoor farming suffer from meteorological events such as
undesirable amount of rainfall, temperature which might vanish the crop in some
situation. The major disadvantage is to construct such an atmosphere for the crops to grow.
