Thesis Abstract

This project aims to explore the feasibility and potential benefits of vertical farming as a sustainable approach to urban crop production. Vertical farming involves the cultivation of crops in vertically stacked layers, often in controlled indoor environments. The project will investigate the impact of factors such as light intensity, temperature, humidity, and nutrient delivery systems on crop growth and yield in vertical farming systems. Additionally, the project will assess the resource efficiency, environmental sustainability, and economic viability of vertical farming compared to traditional agricultural practices. The findings of this study will contribute to our understanding of the potential role of vertical farming in addressing food security and urban agriculture challenges.
