The Advantages and Benefits of Vertical Farming in North America

Vertical farming is utilized to cultivate various crops, including leafy greens, herbs, tomatoes, strawberries, and microgreens. Vertical farming is employed in various settings, such as urban areas, commercial farms, and research facilities. It offers opportunities for year-round production, reduced water usage, efficient space utilization, and controlled environmental conditions. The application of vertical farming in North America addresses the demand for locally grown, fresh, and sustainable produce while ensuring food security and minimizing the ecological footprint of agriculture.

According to Data Bridge Market Research the North America Vertical Farming Market was growing at a value of 7,274.17 million in 2021 and is expected to reach the value of USD 58,250.98 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 29.7% during the forecast period of 2022-2029.

“Rising adoption of agricultural policies drive the market”

The growth of the vertical farming market is expected to be propelled by several key factors. Such as the increasing adoption of federal agricultural policy programs in emerging economies creates a conducive environment for vertical farming development, and the rising levels of food consumption in North America, driven by a growing population, generate demand for sustainable and locally sourced produce. Additionally, expanding trade activities, particularly in grain and oilseed export, presents opportunities for vertical farming to meet the demand for high-quality agricultural products, and introducing new and advanced technologies enhances the efficiency and productivity of vertical farming systems, further driving the market growth.
