Strategic Intelligence: Deep Dive into Vertical Farming

Vertical farming is a method of growing crops indoors in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled environmental conditions and technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics. It can increase food security and decrease agricultural systems' emissions and water intensity.

Vertical farming has struggled to gain traction up until now, but investment and adoption will increase over the next five years. Venture financing activity has been growing, as have patent filings. Climate resilience and reducing reliance on food imports will be key drivers of vertical farming. A significant challenge will be consumer perceptions; sellers of vertically farmed produce should emphasize its health and sustainability benefits.
