Indoor Farming

Indoor farming refers to the practice of growing crops in controlled environments within buildings or structures, rather than outdoors in traditional agricultural settings. This method utilizes various technologies such as hydroponics, aquaponics, or aeroponics to cultivate plants without soil, and often incorporates artificial lighting to provide necessary sunlight, climate control systems for optimal temperature and humidity, and nutrient management for plant health. Indoor farming can be employed in urban areas, which helps to reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting food, enhances food security, and allows for year-round cultivation irrespective of seasonal changes. The approach is gaining popularity due to its potential for sustainability, resource efficiency, and the ability to produce fresh produce in proximity to consumers.
