TECHNOLOGY.
SUPPORT STRUCTURE.
Support structure on a medium like for instance clothy separates the aerial portion of the plants from their roots thus giving them support for growth. It is also used for the processes of seeding and germination when the seeds sprout.
LED LIGHT.
LED lighting usually gives out light differing in wavelengths that target different types of chlorophyll. This, in turn, increases the amount of sunlight absorbed and therefore makes photosynthesis very efficient. In general, it assists in achieving the primary goal of vertical farming which is the production of more food per square meter.
WATER AND NUTRIENT.
The hydroponics system is a major part of vertical farming.V farm system specifically uses the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) where plants are grown in a soilless solution that is recycled from a reservoir.This provides water, nutrients, and oxygen that are normally found in soil and are required for roots. Since in vertical farms the roots are uncovered and exposed to more oxygen, the crops are assumed to grow at a much faster rate. This NFT hydroponics system is referred to as a closed-loop system and uses 95 percent less water compared to traditional farming methods.
VERTICAL FARMING DOES HAVE ITS OWN ADVANTAGES WHICH INCLUDE:
• Maximum crop yield as vertical farming allows crops to be grown all times throughout the year reason being it does not require certain weather to be carried out. The fact that is uses LED light means that the process can be carried out throughout the day as photosynthesis can occur at all time.
• Vertical farming reduces logistics cost since the vertical farms are in cities. Decreased need for logistics makes the process eco-friendly as there is less pollution.
• The process uses minimal water as the water is used in a controlled manner. Vertical farming basically uses 5 percent of the water that conventional farming methods use. Water from transpiration is re-used.
• The piece of land required to grow the crops is much less than when using traditional methods of farming as vertical farms can be expanded upwards.
• No pesticides are required as there are no pests to attack the crops making it healthier, safer and more eco-friendly. The crops are grown organically.
• During the initial stage, vertical farming may be a bit pricey but with time, it becomes a cheaper means of farming. Price for crops grown in vertical farms will also become cheaper.
The VFarm vertical farming system research has achieved a 360-time increase in crop production per square feet compared to traditional farming methods. This has been made possible by using a specific wavelength of LED lighting together with precise doses of nutrients and carbondioxide. The IoT sensors in the VFarm system contributes to a 58.64 percent energy savings as compared to conventional farms while at the same time maintaining these optimal conditions:
A temperature of 23 degrees Celcius.
A humidity level of 60 percent.
Carbon dioxide levels of 1000 ppm.
Airflow at 0.1 ms.
