Qu'est-ce que l'agriculture verticale D'ici 2050, on estime qu'il y aura deux milliards d'êtres humains de plus qu'aujourd'hui. Pour nourrir autant de personnes, nous aurons besoin d'une masse continentale de la taille de l'Amérique du Sud pour tenir compte de la production alimentaire. Malheureusement pour tout le monde, ils ne font plus de nouveaux continents, et si le manque de terres ne suffit pas à s'inquiéter, d'année en année, la planète perd des terres arables en raison du changement climatique, de l'intensification des conditions météorologiques, de la qualité de l'air, et plus. L'agriculture verticale est la pratique consistant à faire pousser des cultures en couches empilées verticalement. Il intègre souvent une agriculture en environnement contrôlé, qui vise à optimiser la croissance des plantes, et des techniques d'agriculture hors sol telles que la culture hydroponique, aquaponique et aéroponique. Certains choix courants de structures pour abriter les systèmes agricoles verticaux incluent les bâtiments, les conteneurs d'expédition, les tunnels et les puits de mine abandonnés. Le principal avantage de l'utilisation des technologies d'agriculture verticale est l'augmentation du rendement des cultures qui s'accompagne d'une plus petite superficie unitaire des besoins en terre. La capacité accrue de cultiver une plus grande variété de cultures à la fois parce que les cultures ne partagent pas les mêmes parcelles de terre pendant la croissance est un autre avantage recherché. De plus, les cultures résistent aux perturbations météorologiques en raison de leur placement à l'intérieur, ce qui signifie moins de récoltes perdues en raison d'événements météorologiques extrêmes ou inattendus. En raison de son utilisation limitée des terres, l'agriculture verticale perturbe moins les plantes et les animaux indigènes, ce qui conduit à une meilleure conservation de la flore et de la faune locales. Comment vous en bénéficierez (I) Insights et validations sur les sujets suivants : Chapitre 1 : Agriculture verticale Chapitre 2 : Arcologie Chapitre 3 : Agriculture soutenue par le développement Chapitre 4 : Folkewall Chapitre 5 : Aménagement alimentaire Chapitre 6 : Mur végétal Chapitre 7 : Jardin en conteneur Chapitre 8 : Terrasse (Terrassement) Chapitre 9 : Terrasse (Jardin) Chapitre 10 : Terrasse (Bâtiment) Chapitre 11 : Horticulture urbaine (II) Répondre aux principales questions du public sur l'agriculture verticale. (III) Exemples réels d'utilisation de l'agriculture verticale dans de nombreux domaines. (IV) 17 annexes pour expliquer brièvement, 266 technologie émergente dans chaque industrie pour avoir une compréhension complète à 360 degrés des technologies de l'agriculture verticale.

This specially curated collection features five reviews of current and key research on vertical farming in horticulture. The first chapter describes and evaluates technologies and methods for growing edible plants indoors and presents a survey of selected commercial vertical farms currently operating that employ them. The second chapter explores the benefits of plant factories with artificial lighting (PFALs). The chapter assesses resource consumption, costs and performance of current PFALs, as well as methods for reducing resource consumption and production costs. The third chapter explores recent advances in the ornamentals industry, such as vertical propagation systems and LED technology, and how these can be implemented to meet the challenges of a changing marketplace and societal demands. The fourth chapter describes the advantages and disadvantages of hydroponics, along with the equipment and substrates used, and also examines soilless/hydroponic growing systems for vegetables. The final chapter describes the most recent innovation in hydroponic technologies for plant cultivation within cities and their adaptability to the urban fabric.

"The vertical farm is a world-changing innovation whose time has come. Dickson Despommier's visionary book provides a blueprint for securing the world's food supply and at the same time solving one of the gravest environmental crises facing us today."--Sting Imagine a world where every town has their own local food source, grown in the safest way possible, where no drop of water or particle of light is wasted, and where a simple elevator ride can transport you to nature's grocery store - imagine the world of the vertical farm. When Columbia professor Dickson Despommier set out to solve America's food, water, and energy crises, he didn't just think big - he thought up. Despommier's stroke of genius, the vertical farm, has excited scientists, architects, and politicians around the globe. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Despommier explains how the vertical farm will have an incredible impact on changing the face of this planet for future generations. Despommier takes readers on an incredible journey inside the vertical farm, buildings filled with fruits and vegetables that will provide local food sources for entire cities. Vertical farms will allow us to: - Grow food 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - Protect crops from unpredictable and harmful weather - Re-use water collected from the indoor environment - Provide jobs for residents - Eliminate use of pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides - Drastically reduce dependence on fossil fuels - Prevent crop loss due to shipping or storage - Stop agricultural runoff Vertical farms can be built in abandoned buildings and on deserted lots, transforming our cities into urban landscapes which will provide fresh food grown and harvested just around the corner. Possibly the most important aspect of vertical farms is that they can built by nations with little or no arable land, transforming nations which are currently unable to farm into top food producers. In the tradition of the bestselling The World Without Us, The Vertical Farm is a completely original landmark work destined to become an instant classic.

What Is Vertical Farming By 2050, it’s estimated that there will be two billion more human beings than there are today. To feed that many people, we’ll need a landmass the size of South America to account for the food production. Unfortunately for everyone, they don’t make new continents anymore, and if the lack of land isn’t enough to worry about, year by year, the planet is losing arable land due to the changing climate, intensifying weather conditions, air quality, and more. Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimize plant growth, and soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aero ponics. Some common choices of structures to house vertical farming systems include buildings, shipping containers, tunnels, and abandoned mine shafts. The main advantage of utilizing vertical farming technologies is the increased crop yield that comes with a smaller unit area of land requirement. The increased ability to cultivate a larger variety of crops at once because crops do not share the same plots of land while growing is another sought-after advantage. Additionally, crops are resistant to weather disruptions because of their placement indoors, meaning fewer crops lost to extreme or unexpected weather occurrences. Because of its limited land usage, vertical farming is less disruptive to the native plants and animals, leading to further conservation of the local flora and fauna.

Vertical Farming is defined as a highly industrialized year round cultivation method for food production, adaptable for multiple crop types, where the verticalized building typology, its programme and functions primarily focus on optimium plant growth. The building is seen as a structural element of the urban ecosystem. In addition to food production, the Vertical Farm must incorporate elements of the food sector which, at present, are spatially detached from each other on a global scale, something which has a severe impact on energy consumption and the environment.
