Vertical growing is a practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers or integrated in other structures in a controlled environment where all environmental factors can be controlled such as artificial control of light, water supply, temperature etc. Most vertical growing systems focus on high-return and short-rotation, rapid-growing crops.
A fine drip irrigation line is fixed to supply the required water amounts to the plants depending on the demand
Environmental, social and economic aspects were considered The concept was initially developed targeting vegetable growing system in vertical arrangement which can provide year-round fresh vegetable supply and which acts as sustainable implementation to green building concept. The followings approaches were considered;
Since the primary goal of vertical growing id to obtain high output from limited space, the crops are stacked vertically to grow. When considering the durability, the three-layered cabinet type steel frame was used as the supportive, durable structure.
