Hyperspectral Imaging Boosts Yields in Vertical Farming
Hyperspectral Imaging Boosts Yields in Vertical Farming
Vertical farming, also known as sky farming, is the practice of growing food crops in vertically stacked layers in controlled indoor spaces using soilless hydroponic or aeroponic growing methods. Vertical farming does not replace conventional farming or greenhouse production, but it can provide a significant niche for food production, especially for large cities. It does so by relying on technology to monitor various parameters and to minimize energy consumption, water usage, fertilizers, and pesticides.
