Vertical farming is no fix for the food system, critics argue
Original: Why ‘vertical farming’ is not a fix for our food system # Canada # FoodSecurity # Farming # Environment # Agriculture #
Canadian media commentary is challenging the idea that vertical farming can solve the country's food security problems. The argument holds that despite its sustainability appeal, indoor vertical agriculture faces economic and practical limits that keep it from being a real alternative to conventional farming amid climate change and rising food insecurity.
Why now: Ongoing concerns about food insecurity, climate change and the high costs of vertical farming have put the technology's promises under scrutiny.
