THE RISE OF VERTICAL FARMING
FROM THE FEBRUARY 2023 ISSUE OF INSIDE GROWER MAGAZINE
WRITTEN BY DANIEL PILSWORTH
NARRATED BY BILL CALKINS
EXCERPT: The sky is the limit: In 1999, Columbia professor Dickson Despommier used the term “vertical farming” to describe a system of agriculture in which crops are grown indoors on vertically stacked platforms. His students imagined skyscrapers with lush greens, bursting from the sides of city buildings and providing hyper-local produce to dense urban centers.
In the two decades since then, vertical farming has grown up in unexpected—yet promising—ways. In fact, according to the most recent P&S Intelligence report, the total vertical farming market size in 2021 was $3.98 billion and this number is expected to grow 25.2% annually to reach $30.2 billion by 2030.
