Abstract

The vertical farming is a world-changing development. It is a way of smart farming which makes an enormous commitment for food sustainability for 21stcentury. Vertical farming is considered as a cutting edge device for taking care of growing total population by year of 2050. The farm is erected in close proximity to the individuals which it serves by accessibility of less expensive, disease free and organic crops nearby supporting the limited natural resources. Increasing demand for food and diminishing arable grounds poses one of the greatest challenges. Vertical farming is the urban method of cultivating crops inside a structure in a city or urban focus, wherein the floors are intended to suit certain crops. These statures will go about as future homestead/farm lands and that they can worked by countries with next to zero arable land, changing countries which are as of now unfit to cultivate into top food producers.
