Urban Agriculture and Vertical Farming

Abstract

This research paper investigates the intersection of sustainable development and vertical farming, aiming to address the growing global challenges of food security and environmental sustainability. Vertical farming represents an innovative agricultural approach with the potential to significantly reduce the ecological footprint of food production while ensuring a stable supply of fresh produce. The study examines the environmental benefits, resource efficiency, and economic viability of vertical farming practices. It also explores the social and policy implications of integrating vertical farming into urban environments. By analyzing current developments in the field, this research provides valuable insights into the role of vertical farming in achieving sustainable food production and the broader goals of sustainable development.
