Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: "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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Vertical Farming Chapter 2: Arcology Chapter 3: Development Supported Agriculture Chapter 4: Folkewall Chapter 5: Foodscaping Chapter 6: Green Wall Chapter 7: Container Garden Chapter 8: Terrace (Earthworks) Chapter 9: Terrace (Garden) Chapter 10: Terrace (Building) Chapter 11: Urban Horticulture (II) Answering the public top questions about vertical farming. (III) Real world examples for the usage of vertical farming in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technology in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of vertical farming' technologies. Who This Book Is For Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of vertical farming.

Book excerpt: This book describes the concept, characteristics, methodology, design, management, business, recent advances and future technologies of plant factories with artificial lighting (PFAL) and indoor vertical farms. The third wave of PFAL business started in around 2010 in Japan and Taiwan, and in USA and Europe it began in about 2013 after the rapid advances in LED technology. The book discusses the basic and advanced developments in recent PFALs and future smart PFALs that emerged in 2016. There is an emerging interest around the globe in smart PFAL R&D and business, which are expected to play an important role in urban agriculture in the coming decades. It is also expected that they will contribute to solving the trilemma of food, environment and natural resources with increasing urban populations and decreasing agricultural populations and arable land area. Current obstacles to successful PFAL R&D and business are: 1) no well-accepted concepts and methodology for PFAL design and management, 2) lack of understanding of the environmental effects on plant growth and development and hydroponics among engineers; 3) lack of understanding of the technical and engineering aspects of PFAL among horticulturists; 4) lack of knowledge of the technical challenges and opportunities in future PFAL businesses among business professionals, policy makers, and investors and 5) lack of a suitable textbook on the recent advances in PFAL technologies and business for graduate students and young researchers. This book covers all the aspects of successful smart PFAL R & D and business.

This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frontiers of technologies have been constantly expanded in many industries around the world, including the agricultural sector. Among many “frontier technologies” in agriculture, are protected agriculture, precision agriculture, and vertical farming, all of which depart substantially from many conventional agricultural production methods. It is not yet clear how these technologies can become adoptable in developing countries, including, for example, South Asian countries like India. This paper briefly reviews the issues associated withthese three types of frontier technologies. We do so by systematically checkingthe academic articleslisted in Google Scholar, which primarily focus on these technologies in developing countries in Asia. Where appropriate, a few widely-cited overview articles for each technology were also reviewed. The findings generally reveal where performances of these technologiescan be raised potentially, based on the general trends in the literature. Where evidence is rich, some generalizable economic insights about these technologies are provided. For protected agriculture, recent research has focusedsignificantly on various features of protective structures (tunnel heights, covering materials, shading structures, frames and sizes) indicating that there are potentials for adaptive research on such structures to raise the productivity of protected agriculture. The research on protected agriculture also focuses on types of climate parameters controlled, andenergy structures, among others. For precision agriculture, recent research has focused on the spatial variability of production environments, development of efficient and suitable data management systems, efficiency of various types of image analyses and optical sensing, efficiency of sensors and related technologies, designs of precision agriculture equipment, optimal inputs and service uses, and their spatial allocations, potentials of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and nano-technologies. For vertical farming, research has often highlighted the variations in technologies based on out-door / indoor systems, ways to improve plants’ access to light (natural or artificial), growing medium and nutrient / water supply, advanced features like electricity generation and integration of production space into an office / residential space, and water treatment. For India, issues listed above may be some of the key areas that the country can draw on from other more advanced countries in Asia, or can focus in its adaptive research to improve the relevance and applicability of these technologies to the country.

Book excerpt: As the world realises the benefits of education, more and more people move to cities; in search of a better future. A future which includes affordable housing, health-care, quality education and inexpensive food. However, while the other options are possible, the pressing question here is: if so many people relocate to the cities, who will work on the farms then?Historically, the farms; built in rural areas, have provided the city-dwellers with cheap food. However, times are changing now. Modern agriculturists believe that cities too can produce ample amounts of food.In this gripping book, we introduce you to modern agricultural technology, "Vertical Farms." A state-of-the-art farm, built inside a skyscraper, which grows enough fruits and vegetables to feed the entire town.This book leads you on an adventure inside a vertical farm; explaining how they can be built inside an abandoned building, and produce enough fresh fruits and vegetables to feed every person in the city. In fact, not just the city dwellers, but vertical farms can actually feed the astronauts who live on the International Space Station, with produce grown on-site.Small countries like Singapore are already taking advantage of vertical farming. With little land, water and sunlight, they have managed to produce tons of food for its fast growing population. If the Singaporeans can do it, anyone can do it.
