In India last 70 or 80 years many achievements are there, we have build businesses, we have build industries, our scientists are going to mars but of all these things. The most significant achievements for us is that our poor farmer without any infrastructure without technology just with traditional knowledge, he's been feeding over a billion people, this is not a small thing. To help them government is taking initiative introducing them with new technology like drone, tractors etc, which can be give them boost on farming.

India has enormous contributions in global science and technology, they are sending Chandrayaan-3 which is there latest space mission. Despite all these achievements our dependency on food grown out of land will not lessen rather it will increase. India has population of 1.5 billion and most of them are vegetarian so they continuously need supply of land grown vegetables. With increase in urbanisation, land available for cultivation is getting smaller and smaller and this is something all countries should think and address.

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.

The Editors of this article or should I say whoever edited the article must have narrowed his or her findings Vertical farming is a great idea no arguments, but he should travel round the world to see for themselves. There so much unused arable lands for farming.
With vertical farming, your crops can be monitored closely. Those who praticalize it have mostly found it interesting because it does help them in managing the limited space they have or to grow a particular rare seed.

Since it has to do with Urbanization, there'll be a lot of crops grown in urban areas and they won't stress so much to with transportation to get this moved around the urbanized environment. It's just that you as a farmer or group of farmers would find it difficult to meet up with the higher demads as the world population increases.

In Africa, Rwanda have been a great nation when it comes to farming, same goes to Zimbabweans, I've seen cool video clips of green house farming to prevent fumes in the air affecting the crops. They're very good when it comes to tea and coffee productions.

It'll also be advice we take note of what we eat, lately, Bill Gates, laboratory products have been found toxic to the human body by the United States Department of Agriculture. I hope we be save as they also try to reduce the world population from what we eat.

Maximizing the farming/ agricultural section will always help a nation no matter what. Agricultural development will also help the economy and that's the reason why everyone should focus on this. A development like this needs to be done. Climate changes is a thing that is growing rapidly and will effect the whole world. So in order to tackle that, we need to develop a technology that will help us to grow food in any given condition.

As I said, in the future we will see more advanced technology and developments. It will become a necessity in couple of years I guess. It is a big issue and it needs to be solved.

sad to say this is not the case to most of the country. here in ours, i’ll hide it in name of Philippines, it’s the other way around. Philippines is very rich of its agriculture, lands are never been a problem It’s how they maximize it and how the government support the local farmers. Sad to say, the government do import goods from China instead of developing farmlands. Local farmers are being left behind and foods are increasingly expensive. The coubtry which is supposed to be producers turned out to be the biggest consumer.

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?

https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/advantages-disadvantages-vertical-farming.php

Right now here in country there are still a lot of land that is enough for agriculture, but there are people choose to do the vertical farming. Vertical farming is a good idea. The problem with agricultural land farming is the capital that will be used by the farmers to be able to grow their crops. Since I am living in a not so progressive country, the farmers need enough funds to be able to purchase crops and grow them. Other farmers are waiting for the aide of government to help them in their farming. As i heard there are government projects that gives the farmers seeds and seedlings to be able to start farming. The benefit of vertical farming is can help produce more crops and also it can save us from using any pesticides because the surroundings is under our control. So i agree in the future of Vertical farming.

Real estate is taking the order of the day and been used for commercialization and business purposes but still, there is enough land enough to produce food for all in a country if there is enough equipment and machinery also needed for employee and employer labor

There is obviously enough land for agriculture in every country at present, but these problems of extreme urbanization will occur in the future when the lands that are now used for farming will be used for buildings or factories where people will either live or have their work set up, we have been seeing this happening with forests already where forests are cut down only so that there can be more urbanization and industrialization which is dangerous for the long run.

Humans can't survive without nature but humans are cutting down nature themselves that too in an alarming rate. So, just like the ozone layer is in danger of getting destroyed, we will have farming problems at very extreme levels in the future due to the increasing population of the world.

You're right. Indeed, we march relentlessly toward urban jungles where wheat and grain fields are fossils. You've pinpointed our looming crisis: our unquenchable appetite for development destroying our lifelines. This ferocious desire recalls Sisyphus, who was doomed to roll a boulder up a hill and watch it roll back down forever. Don't be pessimistic. Isn't knowledge power? Understanding these challenges helps solve them. Instead than painting an apocalyptic future, let's use this information to innovate. What's next after vertical farming and lab-grown meat?

Food is probably overlooked as a resource but it is one of the most important, how many empires and societies have fallen through history as the leaders at the top were unable to secure enough food for their people? Now this fear seems to have disappeared in many countries due to the improvements on the fertilizers, seeds and machinery used for agriculture, but with fresh water becoming more scarce and the reduction of arable land then we need to find ways to feed the growing population around the world.

Necessity is the mother of invention. We are still not at that point where we are out of farming lands. But the situation is quite tough now NGL. Vertical farming could be a solution to this. People will come up with more ideas to maximize farming. To be honest, farming has a great impact on the economy. If your country can produce enough food, then life will be much easy.

Food is the most essential substance in our life. We consume food every day no matter what. So focusing on that will be the best for everyone. But in order to make life easy, we do need other industries too. So I am not against urbanization if people can find more ways to maximize farming. Vertical farming is one step towards that. But in the future, we may see more ways to do it more efficiently.

From the point of view of agricultural technology, it is highly recommended to familiarize yourself with this sector of the economy of Israel and the Netherlands ! Although the Netherlands has enough land, but they have long been developing technologies that can multiply the yield from 1 square meter of land. In Israel the land is not good at all, I mean fertile land. And Israel not only feeds its population with its products, but also exports! And this is all thanks to high technology in the field of agriculture.
Now even in Ukraine, where there is a lot of fertile land, many agricultural companies are beginning to study and adopt the experience of the Netherlands and Israel, in order to maximize the effective use of available land resources!

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

We are all free to use the land we were given however we see fit. It is up to each individual to decide whether to use their land for investment in real estate or for agricultural purposes. Additionally, they enjoy doing things that will help them and that they have ideas for.

A person doesn't get into the real estate business because they don't care about the environment; rather, they do it to make money. In the same way, you want to invest in farmland by purchasing land plots. It all comes down to making decisions that will benefit you and your knowledge.

In vertical farming,

No at the stage of agreeing or not relating to the future of vertical Agriculture in the future, but the availability of land that is trying to be converted causes several obstacles to be implemented. Agricultural experts are trying a new format in the field of agriculture for land conversion solutions. The effect can be precise if managed properly and it also takes a long process to teach it to the common people. The six points you cited do have a positive side to their function, but can optimization for ordinary people who still use traditional Agriculture methods work as expected.

Land use change is increasing and human resources in vertical Farming have not been fully tested in several areas. Accuracy regarding vertical Agriculture will work well as long as socialization can be applied correctly, so that people can use this farming system to the fullest.

For many countries, agriculture remains an important sector of the economy. Agricultural development contributes to improving people's living standards, creating jobs, and ensuring social security. Investment in agriculture and agricultural upgrading is needed to meet domestic demand and reduce dependence on imports.

Supporting agricultural development in an urbanized environment may require investments in innovative technologies, such as urban or home-grown farming and hydroponics. This can help develop urban space and increase the city's food self-sufficiency, ensuring stable agricultural development without negative impacts on the environment.

Vertical farming is getting to a very very profitable period. There are some stuff you can't farm with this method, not all food could be done this way, but the ones that can be done will be done like this without a doubt. It just requires a hefty capital to make it big, but if you want to have a very small land, and a very profitable business, you can literally do this and have the best crops and best profits as well.

I have a friend who does this with tomatos for many years now, almost 6 years, and he redid the place probably either 3 or 4 times so far, technology keeps getting developed that fast on vertical farming, and he did all of it with his profits and kept growing it bigger and bigger all the time. It really works, there is no doubt about it.

I watched a couple of videos on youtube that did some indoor farming with UV lighting and monitored by a machine. Maybe in the future, there will be dozen of these especially in countries that have 4 seasons or harsh environments.

There is also a technique called Avrivoltaic "Agrivoltaics, agrophotovoltaics, agrisolar, or dual-use solar is the simultaneous use of areas of land for both solar panels and agriculture.[1] Because solar panels and crops must share the sunlight,[2] the design of agrivoltaic facilities may require trading off such objectives as optimizing crop yield, crop quality, and energy production. In some cases crop yield increases due to the shade of the solar panels mitigating some of the stress on plants caused by high temperatures and UV damage.[3]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics

I think vertical farming is a pretty cool concept! It addresses the challenge of decreasing land availability and offers a sustainable solution for increasing food production. The benefits, like consistent crop production, optimal space usage, and reduced water and chemical usage, make it an attractive option. Plus, cutting down on transportation costs and promoting biodiversity are added bonuses. It definitely has the potential to be the future of farming.

One of the downsides of vertical farming is that the chemicals used on it still need to be sprayed, which means that it still needs to be sprayed chemically to make it grow more because we know that the space of the soil is not that huge, unlike in the open area, but there will be fewer pests that will try to eat the crops, which we mostly noticed in those open areas. Also, it needs to be taken care of, but it is very comfortable. Let's say you just put it in your garage, and you can just take care of it.

The thing is.... urban farming is too small to replace commercial farming. Yes, people can have green houses on the roof top of buildings, but it is only for subsistence farming. (You find this in rural Africa and some third world countries, where they only produce enough food for their own family and not for the rest of the population)

I think the future of farming is in the cultivation of food that needs less space, but with the same output. We now have farmers that are farming with insects as an alternative protein to meat (Cows/Sheep..) It takes a lot less space ...but it yields the same protein as meat.

Yeah the farming of termites as protein is growing gradually and the market for it in Africa is booming. However livestocks like cow and sheep are on high demand lots of people prefer to eat them regardless of the increase in price of such proteins. As for Vertical farming, a good number of households have a garden for farming some vegetables and roots for their own consumption, which also saves them money. Running such a farming system for a large amount of people or community can be very expensive to maintain in terms of maintenance.

No matter the rate of urbanisation, there is still enough land space for farming. Besides farms are not known to be situated at the peak of the municipal. It is always in the rural dwellings that farms are situated. There is also good road network to link the rural dwellers to the city.

Many countries are going the way of agriculture, and the ones already in agriculture are improving. Urbanisation needs to have equal level of agriculture to match it, because if not so, the country will depend more on importation.
