Did you know that vertical farming, a form of urban gardening where crops are grown in vertically stacked layers or inclined surfaces, can produce significantly higher yields compared to traditional horizontal farming? Vertical farming utilises space more efficiently, reduces the need for extensive land use, and can be implemented in urban areas where space is limited. In this innovative course, discover the secrets to harnessing nature's vitality within the confines of urban landscapes.
