According to the forecast of the United Nations, the world's population will reach 9.6 billion in 2050, and a 50% increase in food supply is required to feed all human beings. However, the facts in front of us are this: arable land is shrinking sharply, water pollution is serious, and global climate is warming... In the future, to solve the problem of feeding such a large population, we may need a new mode of food production, in skyscrapers vertical farm for growing food and vegetables.
Imagine a scene in a downtown skyscraper with tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, etc. grown in every room full of LED lights. Does it sound like a sci-fi movie? In fact, this is the vertical farming, which provides unlimited imagination for solving the food problem of 9.6 billion people in the future.
David Rosenberg, co-founder and CEO of AeroFarms, a global leader in indoor vertical farming and sustainable farming, said:
"The United Nations estimates that by 2050 we need to increase food by 50 percent, and we have lost 30 percent of our arable land in the past 40 years," Rosenberg said. "Looking at all these macro issues, a new kind of way to feed our planet."
