With climate change disrupting agricultural supply chains, vertical farming is emerging as a sustainable solution for food security.
US company Plenty is developing indoor farms that use 95 % less water than traditional agriculture while producing yields 350 times higher per acre, using AI-driven climate control and LED lighting to ensure produce is high quality.
With investments totalling around US $ 1bn from companies like Walmart and SoftBank, Plenty is making fresh, local and pesticide-free produce more accessible than ever.
