Vertical farming is a production model in which plant cultivation is carried out within layered structures, typically under controlled environmental conditions. Developed in response to the limitations of conventional horizontal agriculture, this system aims to enable sustainable food production in densely urbanized areas. Making the farming process largely independent from natural seasonal cycles allows for continuous production throughout the year. In these systems, cultivation is generally ca

Hydroponic farming is a soilless cultivation method in which plants are grown in a water-based nutrient solution that provides the minerals their roots require. In this system, plant roots may be suspended directly in the nutrient solution or supported by an inert growing medium such as perlite, gravel, or rockwool. The term "hydroponic" is derived from the Greek words "hydro" meaning water and "ponos" meaning labor. Historical Development The concept of soilless plant cultivation dates back to
