Vertical farming is a truly extraordinary innovation, just imagine that in an area of 5 meters you can produce 4x as much agricultural output or more depending on how many layers of levels you make, so far vertical farming innovations have really helped people who like farming in urban areas who are already densely populated.
So far, vertical farming is very suitable in urban areas because of limited land. Because of the perceived benefits of this Innovation besides using less land it also uses less water. Because if we talk about water, this vertical farming innovation reuses water and nutrients so it doesn't produce excessive waste.

Another advantage of this innovation method can also reduce air pollution because it can be done in urban areas, meaning there is no need for trucks to transport crops over long distances. Pesticides are also unnecessary for vertical farming as vertical farms tend to be indoors, which is a pest free and weather resistant environment. The two distinct advantages of this Innovation are better air quality, fresher vegetables and less greenhouse gas emissions. But of all these advantages, the best thing is that this innovation capability is more measurable compared to agriculture in general. But so far, this innovation is not suitable to be applied where I live because I live in a village where the land for gardening is still very large.
