Vertical Farms

Vertical farms revolutionize agriculture by leveraging robotics to maximize efficiency, sustainability, and urban food production.

Integrating robotics in vertical farms automates processes such as planting, spraying, monitoring, and harvesting crops within controlled environments. This approach optimizes the use of space, increases agricultural yields, and reduces the consumption of water and pesticides, making it an essential solution for sustainable food production and urban farming.

As global food demand increases, vertical farming offers a way to localize food production, reducing transportation costs and emissions while ensuring access to fresh produce in urban areas. Companies like iFarm and AeroFarms are already implementing robotic systems to maximize efficiency. However, without open-source solutions, these technologies risk becoming inaccessible to smaller communities and regions, exacerbating inequalities in agricultural innovation.
