Vertical farms grow crops using 95% less water
Vertical farms stack crops skyward in cities, using up to 95% less water than traditional farming, bringing fresh produce closer to urban dwellers and boosting food security.
Vertical farms are revolutionizing agriculture by growing crops in stacked layers within cities, using significantly less water than traditional farming. These innovative farms often employ hydroponic or aeroponic systems, delivering nutrients directly through recirculated water. This closed-loop method can save an astonishing 90 to 95 percent of water compared to conventional methods, according to NASA and agricultural research.
