When we say the benefits of something. we will know that it is an innovation. Yah, in the modern era, we can modify new farming technique like an alternative way of growing crops, vertical farming. The vertical farming would utilize agricultural methods such as greenhousing, aeroponics and hydroponics and would store everything in an agricultural structure like that of a high rise building which will be called a farmscraper.

The whole idea may sound pretty complex, and even preposterous and absurd to some, but come to think of it, the whole idea of innovation offers a lot of advantages of vertical farming that we could really benefit from. Increase in crop production is one advantage of vertical farming principle, especially in urban city.

Unlike traditional farming wherein you can only grow and harvest a limited amount of crops in a piece of land, vertical farming multiplies the land productivity even more since, well, it's a multi tier farming. The farmscrapers are also designed to have a market in the same infrastructure where the crops are grown, so that would definitely eliminate travel costs and spoilage, hence decreasing the price of the crops. And since the crops are enclosed in a controlled environment, they can be well protected from weather related problems such as intense heat, intense cold, wildfires, etc. It could also help conserve lands that are used up by traditional farms. This agricultural idea may be at its early stages at present but I'm sure ten, twenty, thirty years from now, it'll be on its full swing and consumers could reap all the benefits from it.

Vertical farming offers a lot of advantages that we could all benefit from. The following is the benefits of vertical farming for environment agriculture.

• Vertical farming firms are able to produce crops year-round;
• Reduce the use of fossil fuels since machines to transport crops are not required, and water is recycled from vertical layer to vertical layer, leaving neither soil nor water unused;
• Vertical farms to grow quality foods because extreme weather has no direct effect on the lifecycle of their crops growth, and neither do insects or pesticides.
• Vertical farming has also begun trending in the DIY world, allowing households to grow their own fruits and vegetables while also recycling water and soil
