AI, ML and IoT Integrated Vertical Farming
Vertical farming is not a new concept, but recent technological advancements have made it more viable and efficient. This method leverages technology to grow crops indoors, often in skyscrapers, warehouses, or shipping containers, using vertically stacked trays to maximize space. The controlled environment agriculture (CEA) model underpins vertical farming, utilizing advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor and tailor growing conditions to the crops’ needs. The global community is facing mounting challenges to food security, particularly with the projected population reaching 10 billion by 2050. Traditional agricultural practices are increasingly constrained by issues such as land scarcity, water depletion, and […]
