and growth of the Vertical Farming Market
Vertical farming is the practice of producing food in
vertically stacked layers, such as in a used warehouse, skyscraper, or shipping
container. Organic foods are perceived as healthier, more nutritious, safer,
and more environmentally friendly. A critical factor that influences demand for
organic food is the food purchasing behavior of consumers, which is essential
for producers, policymakers, and suppliers to implement successful marketing strategies.
Obesity and heart diseases are prevalent health-related
issues among consumers. Furthermore, growing depletion of groundwater and
changing climatic conditions have urged traditional growers to adopt alternate
farming methods. Increasing consumer concerns about health and the
abovementioned factors are likely to elevate industry demand.
Unlike traditional farming, indoor farming can produce crops
throughout the year, which results in increased productivity. Furthermore,
indoor farming can protect crops from extreme weather conditions through the
usage of techniques such as controlled environment agriculture technology,
where facilities use artificial environmental control, control of light, and
fertigation.
Increasing demand for high-quality food, independent
agriculture techniques, and growing urbanization are some of the critical
factors responsible for market growth. These factors have increased the
requirement for food. Demand for food is expected to witness significant growth
with a growing population by 2030. The adoption of vertical cultivation
techniques allows consumers to grow crops in a warehouse or a multi-story
building.
