Description
Vertical farming is a controlled-environment agriculture method that stacks crop layers to maximize yield per area.
Technical
It relies on hydroponic nutrient solutions maintained at pH 5.5–6.5 and electrical conductivity 1.5–2.5 dS/m, LED lighting of 400–800 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹, 12–16 h photoperiods, and CO₂ enrichment of 400–800 ppm to boost photosynthetic efficiency.
