Technological advancements in urban farming

• The practice of "vertical farming" involves
  growing plants in layers that are stacked
  vertically to make better use of available space.
  Skyscrapers, warehouses, and shipping containers
  are all potential locations for vertical farms.
  Regardless of the weather outside, they use
  climate control systems and artificial lighting
  to create the best growing conditions for plants.
  Due of the lack of land and sunshine in
  metropolitan areas, vertical farming is now
  feasible.

• Plants can be grown hydroponically without using
  soil. Instead, plants are grown in a
  nutrient-rich solution that may be applied in a
  variety of ways to reach the roots. Both indoor
  and outdoor use of hydroponics is possible, and
  it has a number of benefits over conventional
  soil-based farming, including less water
  consumption, higher crop yields, and the capacity
  to grow crops in unfavorable soil conditions.
