Vertical Farming- innovative agriculture
The world is set to reach 9.1 billion people in 2050, around the globe. Innovation is in demand which is one of the driving factors for the vertical farming. This would result in fulfilling the demand with less impact on land and water resources. Vertical farming is now being implemented around the world. Vertical farms produce crops in stacked layers, often in controlled environments such as those built by AeroFarms in Newark, New Jersey. The vertical farms are using the technology called aeroponics, allowing crops to grow on top of each other without soil, sunlight or fertilizer. AeroFarms claims that it uses 95% less water than a traditional farm due to its specially designed root misting system. Automatic seed planters, harvesting robots, greenhouse roof washers, indoor farming has long relied on automation, and this trend is increasing the demand for technologies. Many technologies are still emerging, like Canadian research group Vineland Research and Innovation Centre's trailing robot that picks mushrooms.
Vertical Farming- regional insight
The vertical farming in Europe is expected to register highest CAGR across the globe, during the forecast period. The European vertical farming market is driven by the major initiatives taken by the European Environment Agency (EEA) that focuses on building vertical farms to overcome challenges such as climate change, continuous population growth, and safe agricultural practice as well as to meet the challenges of producing food in an eco-friendly way with quality and quantity.
The U.S. held the largest share of the North American vertical farming market in 2016. There are several variations of vertical farms being tested throughout the U.S, and new innovations and technology is expected to increase the energy efficiency and profit margins of these farms in the future. The number of vertical farms is under construction in the United States and is expected to be fully functional in coming years. Countries such as Canada have fertile tract and less population and do not have food scarcity, however, many vertical farms for growth of specific crops has been constructed in the country. Mexico is an emerging market for the vertical farming market in the North American region.
In 2016, Asia-Pacific was the largest market in the global vertical farming market.
