摘要
The increasing global population, combined with the impacts of climate change, underscores the urgent need for novel food production systems. Conventional field-based agriculture strains planetary boundaries. Vertical farming (VF) emerges as a promising alternative. It enables precise manipulation of growth factors, including light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient delivery, leading to higher yields and superior crop quality while reducing the environmental impact. Automation and robotics will enhance efficiency, while hydroponic techniques minimize fertilizer usage. Collaborative efforts are essential to address challenges such as energy consumption and technology costs to fully realize the potential of VF. Vertical farming aligns with many of the Global Sustainability Goals, offering a pathway towards food security challenges while fostering sustainability. Das Wachstum der Weltbev & ouml;lkerung kombiniert mit den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels, unterstreicht die dringende Notwendigkeit f & uuml;r neuartige Systeme zur Nahrungsmittelerzeugung. Die konventionelle, auf Feldern basierende Landwirtschaft belastet die planetaren Grenzen. Vertical Farming (VF) erweist sich als vielversprechende Alternative. Es erm & ouml;glicht eine pr & auml;zise Steuerung von Wachstumsfaktoren wie Licht, Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und N & auml;hrstoffversorgung, was zu h & ouml;heren Ertr & auml;gen und besserer Qualit & auml;t der Ernte f & uuml;hrt und gleichzeitig die Umweltauswirkungen reduziert. Automatisierung und Robotik werden die Effizienz steigern, w & auml;hrend hydroponische Bew & auml;sserungssysteme den Einsatz von D & uuml;ngemitteln minimieren. Gemeinsame Anstrengungen sind unerl & auml;sslich, um Herausforderungen wie den Energieverbrauch und die Kosten der Technologie zu bew & auml;ltigen, um das volle Potenzial im Vertical Farming auszusch & ouml;pfen. Vertical Farming steht im Einklang mit vielen globalen Nachhaltigkeitszielen und bietet einen Weg zur Bew & auml;ltigung von Herausforderungen der Nahrungsmittelsicherheit und zur F & ouml;rderung der Nachhaltigkeit.
