The future of modern and alternative farms

Urban farming, vertical farming, and hydroponics are all hot topics. Farmers, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs are all intensely interested in these new and productive ways to grow crops.

With innovative farming techniques, the future of farming is bright. Instead of conventional practices, farms are now being designed and constructed to optimize use of land and water.

Rather than requiring acres and acres of land, hydroponic farms "build up."

Farming is no longer thought of in terms of square footage or acres. Instead, the modern farmer and savvy investor plan by the cubic foot. They know that by utilizing the entire space and building up, overhead goes down and profits increase.

Alternative farming solves two big problems - Water & Land

With hydroponics, plants don't grow in traditional soil. Instead, they grow in liquid, or aggregates with added nutrients. So, with hydroponics local soil-quality and land isn't a problem anymore.

And now, hydroponic farms are no longer used only in small environments. An increase of technology and advancements have created mega-farms.

These High-tech farms are scaled to deliver their produce sequentially all year round

Now groceries stores can have fresh vegetables year-round. No matter what the weather conditions are, even if there's a significant drought or storm, modern techniques have made growing all-year possible despite outside conditions or lack of land.
