Read MoreVertical Farming- The Future of Agriculture?
The main objective of vertical farming is to maximize yield against minimal usage of natural resources.
About project
Welcome to Prover project !
About project!
The scope of the project is to promote vertical farming as a sustainable agricultural method for WB countries through strengthening the interlinkage between the VET sector and business sector.
The project aims to address the needs of VET institutes located in third countries of the WB in developing concrete links with the labour market of the emerging VF sector, so as to offer VET courses that are both attractive to learners and reflect the requirements of investors of the sector.
Scope of Vertical Farming
Increase Farming in Urban Areas:
Vertical farming can easily be done in urban areas with minimum availability of land.
Water Conservation:
Even if you don’t have proper water facilities in your area, farming will go on with vertical farming.
No Seasonal Dependency:
This allows year-round crop production without facing any seasonal challenges.
New Means of Employment:
One can start up their own business with vertical farming and employ others too.

Advantages of Vertical Farming
Vertical farming involves growing crops indoors under controlled environmental conditions. It enables farmers to cultivate crops all year round without the risk of yield loss to adverse weather conditions.
Optimum space usage
Traditional farming methods demand acres of plain and fertile land. However, that is not the prerequisite for vertical cultivation techniques. As already mentioned, this farming method uses stacks of vertically inclined surfaces to grow crops.
Consistent and higher crop yield
Probably, the most advantageous feature of vertical farming is reliable crop production for 365 days as such farming techniques are independent of external factors like sunlight, seasons, water, and area, among others
Reduced transportation cost
Urban location of vertical farms make their delivery points easily accessible. They can instead set up farms in areas close to their customer locations.It shortens the supply chain, thus reducing transportation charges and carbon footprint.
Lower water usage
Since vertical farming involves hydroponic growing methods, it reduces water needs for irrigation. As a result, such farming methods use only 10% of the provided water.
