Vertical Farming is the latest development in farming, wherein all environmental factors are controlled. In the Vertical Farming process, foods and medicines are produced in vertically stacked layers, vertically inclined surfaces and/or in integrated structures like warehouses, shipping containers, skyscrapers, etc. Vertical Farming uses a combination of indoor-farming techniques and Controlled-Environment-Agriculture (CEA).

Vertical Farming techniques control parameters like the amount of light, environmental factors like temperature, humidity, gases, etc., and fertigation factors which include application of fertilizers and other soil products. In some Vertical Farms, natural light is used in conjunction with artificial lighting and metal reflectors, similar to greenhouses.
