The growth and production of crops on vertically stacked layers and vertically inclined surfaces is known as vertical farming, and it may be an efficient approach to increase food output with less area. It is necessary to construct such farms that require less land and less time to transport food produced in rural regions to urban areas in order to grow food there. The market for vertical systems is rapidly growing, and aeroponics uses comparable methods. Anyone who wants to cultivate vegetables, medicinal plants, and flower crops vertically can utilise this approach. In India, vertical farming has difficulties with mainstreaming, public awareness, farmers’ involvement, technical skills, expense of operating vertical farm systems, and financial feasibility.
