Farmers are under continuous pressure to produce more food, faster. Environmental sustainability in agriculture is an equally important topic to discuss in parallel with mass food production. When food is grown sustainably, it’s safe and healthy for both consumers and Mother Earth. Let’s look at some of the most innovative futuristic farming methods.
Vertical Farming Systems: This system uses available indoor spaces to grow crops. Instead of sprawling out alongside one another, herbs and vegetables grow vertically to conserve space
An obvious benefit to urban growing solutions is that you can grow more crops in a smaller area, but there are many other benefits to vertical farming as well, such as reduced water consumption, chemical free food production, lower carbon emissions etc. Innovativations to further environmental sustainability in agriculture ultimately benefits the world, we just need to be dedicated to the process.
