Automated/vertical farming getting ready for the mainstream
It’s good to see this getting more mainstream attention - I would love to try something like this!
Anybody done anything like it or working in the field of automated farming?
Vertical farming, where plants are grown in stacked layers, enables a greater number of crops to be grown in the same space.
Yields can be increased further by optimising the amount of light and nutrients each plant receives.
The technique is now moving from commercial applications to consumer products, but what are they like to use and why do people want them?
