Abstract: Vertical farming presents a hopeful approach for tackling issues related to reliable food access, environmental responsibility, and the growth of cities. This innovative agricultural method involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers within controlled environments, optimizing space and resource use while enhancing yields. Recent advancements in automation have significantly improved the efficiency and sustainability of vertical farming. By minimizing water and pesticide use, and shortening supply chains through proximity to urban centres, vertical farming reduces transportation costs and carbon emissions. Economic benefits include year-round production and premium pricing for pesticide-free produce. However, challenges remain, including high initial investments and energy demands. From an environmental perspective, vertical farming uses less land and water than conventional agriculture. This review highlights vertical farming’s potential to improve global food security and support sustainable urban development. It also emphasizes the need for further research and collaboration to overcome barriers, with continued innovation and supportive policies essential for its widespread success.
