Vertical farming looks like it's a very basic idea meant to save space. I'm more interested in hydroponics, that allows you to grow plants much faster and constantly control the amount of water and microelements they receive.
Since we already know how to produce LED lights allowing plants to grow without the sun and we can grow them without soil using hydroponics, the future of farming is going to be in large warehouses, or even underground, where plants will be stacked on numerous levels and the whole process will be automated.

With artificial food or grasshopper crackers becoming more common, the number of farms may be limited in the future. Not everyone will be able to establish a farm, and it is likely that the farmer will be allowed to grow or breed whatever is listed on the permit.

This isn't going to be the food of the future. It's pushed by the same idiots who created veganism and now people who were vegan for a while find out they actually crave meat and completely change their habits. Read about the guy who had bowel irritation from vegan food and fixed it by eating beef.
Most people don't want to eat insects. Check who wants you to eat them. It's the same people who are trying to limit cash flow and enforce CBDCs.

Since everybody can not own a farm laend to make plantations it is very important for the government to help those existing farmers and encourage them to create more lands for farming because as the population is growing very fast, there is need for food to be available for people to buy and eat so that there will not be in availability of food for the populatiom to feed on. We can see that one of the things that are causing the high cost of food is because there is not surplus of food in the market to reduce the hike in price of food in the market.

Obviously this is the future, eventually with productivity in land reducing and humans finding more and more spots to settle themselves, vertical farming is the only solution and infact it's more profitable too considering rising land prices in few developing and developed nations. But yes we would need very high tech technology to actually make this a reality because most of the farmers are coming from a uneducated background so for them such a thing is actually difficult.

Land is becoming lesser and not very available for agriculture as before, There is a lot of Urbanization going on and many land space are being built on to carter for the increasing number of persons. There will be lesser organic foods available for consumption as the worlds population increase and farming space reduces. Because of this, there now has to be an improvement in farming methods and I personally consider vertical Farming to be the future of organic food farming.

Agriculture is the barn of life because this is where food sources are available and it is also from agriculture that people get food sources to support their lives. Urbanization that occurs makes agricultural land smaller and unable to accommodate the number of food sources for some countries that are trying to transfer functions, so that food sources must be exported from outside which results in increasingly expensive prices.

The problem is that this will have an impact on families who have incomes below the average, because to meet food needs at prices that are no longer affordable. Not all urbanization is successful and most of it also affects the stability of people who earn below average incomes.

Some countries that have small land have implemented a vertical farming system like you mean and they use small land to produce food and all the food needs of that farming system.

Ensures Consistent Crop Production
One of the biggest benefits of vertical arming lies in the fact that it is extremely reliable. That means, when you opt for vertical farming, you can be assured of getting consistent crop production throughout the year. This is further made possible because vertical farming doesn’t usually rely on the weather, allowing you to cultivate crops without having to get worked up about adverse weather conditions.
Uses Space Optimally
Reduces Usage of Water
One of the biggest perks of vertical farming lies in the fact that it follows a Hydroponic growing process whereby only 10% of the water is used. This mode of farming also uses fewer fertilizers and nutrients when compared to conventional methods. Since the water is completely clean even after usage, it can be duly reused thereby reducing the total cost and cutting down on waste.
Cuts Down on Transport Cost
You can always choose to grow crops in an area where your customer lives thereby reducing transportation costs, carbon dioxide emissions, and the constant need for refrigerating your produce. At the end of the day, this not only contributes to the freshness of your products but also makes them incredibly profitable.
Doesn’t Involve Chemicals or Pesticides
When you grow food on a vertical farm, you have the chance of completely cutting down on the need to invest in pesticides. That is because your farming is practiced in a controlled environment that prohibits the entry of pests.
Limits Occupational Hazards
With indoor farming in place, no farmer is exposed to the hazards associated with using heavy farming gear. They are also well-protected from a range of ailments like malaria, issues from harmful chemicals, and the likes of it.Since this mode of farming does not affect trees and animals around inland zones, it is also an excellent way to promote biodiversity.
Larger Produce
Probably the biggest benefit of vertical farming is the fact that it helps produce more crops in general. As we already know, this mode of farming enables cultivars to produce crops consistently in a small area. Interestingly, it also boosts the amount of produce.

What do you think about Vertical Farming, do you agree that it is the future of farming really?

Hmm, My family background is pure Asian farming, I would say Yes, the farming profession is getting decreasing in priority. Reson is a digital and effortless life. The future of farming in which context you are asking about? As I can read you are saying the resources are lesser as compared to before yes that's a fact because now we are destroying our agricultural lands just for the sake of commercial plotting and housing colonies. Real estate is the biggest threat to Farming.

In my view, farming is a good business but due to the lack of training and awareness, the young generation is not so close to it. In my region, most of the business is based on farming. Hmm, our elders use to say nowadays all these pesticides and fertilizers are destroying our health and the purity of the crops and health, and I think I do agree with it. Well, I am going off-topic so the endpoint is OP our fertile landing is getting destroyed by these real estate investors. we need a strong action on it.

Talking about the future in the agricultural sector, I think this is quite worrying. Land is getting narrower and the interest of young people in the agricultural sector is decreasing not to mention the issue of climate change which can hamper agriculture.
Sustainable agriculture is important because agriculture is a source of food for most people in the world and we can see how the impact was when the Ukrainian agricultural sector was disrupted due to wars which resulted in food and fertilizer crises in several countries, so in this case there is a need for food availability. enough to avoid a food crisis that can lead to death from starvation. And if agriculture is not managed properly it will have a negative impact on the environment and reduce land productivity in the future.

And to answer this question, among others

-First, expanding agricultural land and creating special agricultural areas. Because what is happening now is that when special agricultural areas are created, there are a lot of conversions of the function of agricultural land into factories, housing and so on. With the existence of special agricultural areas, it is hoped that agricultural output can be stable every year and can provide sufficient food availability.

-Second, attracting youth interest in the agricultural sector to overcome the crisis of farmer regeneration. for example by increasing access to and improving the quality of agricultural vocational education, creating a youth entrepreneur program in the agricultural sector and creating agricultural activities that involve young people to attract their interest in the agricultural sector.

-Third, improving technology and making up-to-date innovations to anticipate agricultural problems such as crop failure caused by drought or pests and also to anticipate climate change.

vertical farming is a very old technique though, its been around since time since in my country we have Rice Terraces where our ancestors carved ladders on our mountains in which every step is a rice field. Quite unique in Asia somehow, there are some in Indonesia afaik.

vertical farming though is good if one can do it in the city where only needs a very small space. i would be interested to have my own garden of cabbage or potatoes so i can survive even when the world inflation skyrockets.

I disagree that there is a scarcity of farmland in the world. We can simply argue that there is less usable land for farming and that we must use chemicals and pesticides to assist in growing in situations like that. Vertical farming is advantageous and cost effective because it can be used without the addition of any chemicals or pesticides, as well as other characteristics that will result in lower financial charges. It is always beneficial to have an alternative to anything, but not at the risk of causing harm to people. What I don't agree with is the notion that farmland is scarce. It may be scarce in some parts of the world, but not everywhere as you’ve said in your post.

Of course, this is the future of farming but this technique has its own flaws such as it becomes difficult to cultivate crops that are larger in size like 10 feet/Sugarcane etc. If you were referring to small-size crops like growing vegetables then this method is reliable otherwise I found it useless.

I checked the history of this method and it was first introduced in 1999, but I doubt this method is older than that. But keeping the 1999 date in mind, I can say one thing for sure the future that we are talking about in which this method will be most efficient does not come yet. But still, this method covers less space horizontally but more vertically.

I have seen many vertically farming baskets, being used to decorate houses and hotel instead of using them to cultivate vegetables. I know it's one of the use cases it brings but this indicated that this method currently not needed because on earth there is still land available for farming.

I agree with you, vertical agriculture only applies to small plants, such as tubers, vegetables and fruits that have small sizes, certainly will not be effective if for large plants and or require more sunlight such as corn, rice and wheat.
We can see that this vertical agricultural projection has limits.

Maybe today is not so popular because there is still a lot of land to be made a place of agriculture, but in some large countries have done it with extraordinary scale such as Dubai for example, they are the highest producer in the world of the vertical farming system.

I think everybody should own some farmland in some way. It doesn't matter if you need it or not at the moment. I think you will need it in the future for sure. Actually it doesn't even have to a farm land, a house with a nice garden would do the trick. You should be able to grow some basic vegetables and fruits in that garden. That way you can reduce your food dependency greatly.

My grand parents grow cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelons, peppers, cherries, plums, peaches and lots of other green shit... They all grow in the same garden and they all taste great.

This is the importance of local government law regulations, which in some areas have imposed restrictions on development. For example, a certain company will set up a factory in an area with a potential plantation soil structure, so the rules may not exceed the set limit. Because then the agricultural area can still stand. The Agribusiness Council plays a role in implementing these regulations and has the authority to follow up if a company constructs a building outside the predetermined boundaries.

Especially now that the greening program is being stepped up again, both in urban and rural areas, which incidentally are now starting to shift. The coordination between the community and the local government to create regional stability.

There are some conditions where in some big cities land seems to be something difficult but for some areas actually land can still be used for agriculture.
IMO the problem that may be faced in agriculture is that nowadays it is not about the condition of the land and whether it is still there or not but the difference in understanding between generations that may make this even more dangerous.
Nowadays, especially for generation Z, farming is sometimes seen as something that is very difficult to do because they don't want to have a lot of thoughts and want lighter work such as being in front of a PC every day or wearing a tie when working so when being a farmer will be seen as something trivial and this type of profession that young people don't really want.
Land is definitely a problem, but when there is no regeneration for farmers, it is also very dangerous because as time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer farmers.

You know, if I had a lot of money, I would buy a farm lot as an investment because we live on land, and it is used to grow fruits and vegetables. Having an investment farm or livestock is different than real estate that only builds houses.
It's different because you have a farm of vegetables, fruits, because it helps a large part of our health and this is the truth, that's why there are businessmen because they just want to make money and don't care if it affects the nature, which is not nice

Well real estate and farming or livestock is literally different investment. It's literally depends on your suitability or what you prefer since both needs maintenance and consistency. Farming is actually difficult if you don't have the knowledge in farming since it will be affected by the weather or the environment since we're talking about growing a living organism. If that's the case you can hire someone who's good at farming. And real estate could be the same but I think it's already a common investment for some people so they would be aware on how it works but still need some maintenance and fix the papers.

Vertical farming can be done in a place that lacks land but not in a rural area. There are still enough land in my country and government has their own farms which they use to feed the nation even though it isn't enough. Majority of people living in the rural area uses farming ad their major occupation,and the plant on lands. There are a lot of abandoned land in my territory in different places that is just there without people using them for farming. I don't see that the time coming so soon that there will be no more land available for farming. The third world country is underdeveloped and there are bushes everywhere. Even in a second world country people are still farming on lands.

Some countries have abundant uncultivated lands because they have large land masses. Other countries are not that fortunate to have arable lands fit for large-scale farming. But I want to argue that vertical farming is not the future of agriculture. It might be effective in subsistence farming where food is grown for household consumption, but it can not feed a large number of people. Vertical farming requires some skill, and can also be expensive and difficult to manage. Not many farmers will be interested in this kind of farming.

I have always been an advocate of organic farming because it is healthy and maintain the natural soil texture, but I am afraid that the future of agriculture is now inorganic farming. With the effect of global warming, climate change, conflicts, and other problems I am afraid that the world will keep depending on genetically modified seeds for high harvest, syndetic pesticides, and chemicals to assist farmers produce more from limited farmlands.

I'm not sure and the information OP mentioned about its size and scope, but I've gone to some countries maybe their farming field still hasn't changed too much from the traditional one, in terms of scale. Planning land area is almost a price to pay for industrial development, but I see that aside from new modern equipment for farming, the productivity I have heard and seen is huge giant. As for the future story of some redevelopment experiment that produces productive varieties, I know it's been around for quite a while and is being studied every day, obviously we face a lot of dangers in the future. Life, food situation is always considered and considered in the top.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope

For now, modern agrarian techniques are only applied by farmers who have narrow land. That's not yet the government's plan to deal with escalating settlements that don't really look threatening in their eyes.

I'm currently a bit involved in the farming business, but I don't have much idea to comment on this step towards modernizing agriculture. In my point of view, I do not agree with some of the advantages mentioned such as:

- Ensures Consistent Crop Production, this may reduce the quality of the crop.
- Reducing transportation costs, I think all agricultural needs from the first stage to sales will not be available in one place or let's say in as close a radius as possible. In my area, to be honest the cost of transportation is not much of a thought.

Vertical farming may be good but not applicable to every crop. I think vertical farming is good in areas or places where there's limited agricultural land so instead of importing crops from other places, they can produce their own products. However, the downside of this is that it can be too costly. Let's take an example of my country the Philippines, which has agriculture as the backbone and the main source of livelihood in our country. There are a lot of lands available here with a great population of farmers, plus the weather that allows us to produce various crops we can export to other countries. But the issue is, there's already a lack of financial support from the government to help our farmers. The farmers can't even buy their own supplies for their crops and they're already earning a small amount of money for their hard labor. Adapting to a vertical farming won't be a practical choice for them.

Vertical farming might be great for individuals who want to have their self-grown plants at home yet with limited land. Also for people in urban areas since it can also contribute to the environment, having a small farm in the city. Or countries with advanced technology or with great government support.

You have brought a topic that is important which is the future of farming and this is really the future of food production in the world. If people are going to keep feeding well and get nourished then farming should be taking serious. The unfortunate thing is like you have mentioned also is the land or space to farm. Really, development is taking over land space for agricultural activities.

Whether vertical farming or not, the government need to really take proactive measures to secure lands that will be meant for agricultural purposes and no interference of any capital projects, building of roads, bridges or other structures should not be done in such areas. Just like there is game reserves, the government should put land out and secure them for the purpose of agriculture.
