Vertical farming is a method of growing vegetables in vertically stacked layers, often using hydroponics, in a controlled environment. It allows for year-round production of fresh, nutrient-rich vegetables in a smaller footprint compared to traditional farming methods. There are several ways in which vertical farming can support household food security. Increased production: Vertical farming can produce a larger quantity of vegetables in a smaller space, making it more efficient and cost-effective. This can help households have access to a consistent and reliable source of fresh produce. Reduced food waste: Vertical farming can help reduce food waste by allowing for precise control of the growing environment. This can result in higher crop yields and less spoilage. Improved food safety: Vertical farming can reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses by controlling the growing environment and using hydroponics, which eliminates the need for soil that may contain harmful bacteria.
