2. Question
Which of the following are benefits of ‘Vertical Farming’?
- Maximum Crop Yield
- Less Carbon Print
- Minimal Water Use
Select the correct code:
Correct
Solution (d)
Vertical farming has many advantages such as that it allows maximum crop yield. This means that vertical farming can allow crops to be grown at all times throughout the year, as it is not weather dependent.
Another advantage is that it reduces transportation costs as it will be cheaper for transportation since you can build vertical farms in cities, so you don’t need to import the crops from other regions. It is eco-friendly as decreased need for transportation means less pollution.
Another advantage is that it uses very minimal water. Since the water is used in a controlled manner, water losses are very minimal. Vertical farming only uses 10% of the amount of water that traditional farming methods use.
