This specially curated collection features five reviews of current
and key research on vertical farming in horticulture. The first
chapter describes and evaluates technologies and methods for
growing edible plants indoors and presents a survey of selected
commercial vertical farms currently operating that employ them. The
second chapter explores the benefits of plant factories with
artificial lighting (PFALs). The chapter assesses resource
consumption, costs and performance of current PFALs, as well as
methods for reducing resource consumption and production costs. The
third chapter explores recent advances in the ornamentals industry,
such as vertical propagation systems and LED technology, and how
these can be implemented to meet the challenges of a changing
marketplace and societal demands. The fourth chapter describes the
advantages and disadvantages of hydroponics, along with the
equipment and substrates used, and also examines
soilless/hydroponic growing systems for vegetables. The final
chapter describes the most recent innovation in hydroponic
technologies for plant cultivation within cities and their
adaptability to the urban fabric.
