In Vertical Farming plants are stacked on shelves, growing in a hydroponic system with their roots in water instead of soil. They grow in large industrial buildings and sunlight is replaced by LED light, while water enriched with nutrient circulates in a large, closed system.
Thus Vertical Farming can achieve total independence from outside weather conditions. and crops can be harvested several times a year. A sensor system for Vertical Farming can measure temperature, humidity, ph level and salt level of water in the hydroponic system.
