Please provide your opinion on vertical farming. Is it the future of agriculture? If yes, where is it most promising (areas, countries cities etc.)?
It is a great idea for Japan that has a land shortage. But, what about many countries, like Sudan that have a wide area and the people don't have enough food to eat!
Dear Prof. Frank T. Edelmann, according to internet search, Asiatic countries are leading in this field. This technique has some drawbacks: high initial investment money, less labors (unemployment problem), excessive use of energy and chemicals. My Regards
I will say yes and no, for some plants , yes! For grains and other, I will say no!
Prof Frank T. Edelmann
What an interesting question; I'm sure that this reminds me of two small units that my next door neighbour ordered, one for our yard and one for hers. And this is on a much greater scale:
https://www.ft.com/content/0e3aafca-2170-4552-9ade-68177784446e
The above article does mention black mould and pests because no pesticides are used, but I'm sure that this is very possible to treat and that there are much higher gains to be had.
Despite my above negative comment, such drawbacks should be able to be dealt with, and, of course, there are comparable problems in the field.
Initially, it seems to be the way ahead when space is limited, but if it means that uncontrolled elements that affect the outdoors, who knows? It might be the way ahead.
Dear Frank T. Edelmann, thanks for initiating a discussion on this interesting issue. Probably vertical agriculture is the demand of the time. Vertical agriculture could help increase food production to meet the demand of the increasing world population which is supposed to exceed 9 billion by 2050.
Frank T. Edelmann
Dear Professor Frank,
Thank you for this wonderful question.
If I have to straight away refer to one big problem of the world today, I will refer to population explosion. If I look at vertical farming from the point of view of economics, then it can be commented that it is an attempt to provide some sort of a solution to the problems relating to population explosion. Right now there are no concrete signs of stopping of this problem. This is the picture particularly in Asian countries like India, China, Bangladesh etc. So vertical farming appears to be the future of agriculture. But to make it the "only future" of agriculture, vertical farming has to be made successful in case of all types of crops.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Anamitra.
Any lessons learned from vertical farming will be useful for a self-sustaining Moonbase, near-Earth orbital colonies, and eventual colonization of Mars.
I have previously responded to a similar question on this platform. Please see the following RG discussion thread.
https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is-vertical-farming-the-future-of-agriculture
Nearly every city in the world has abandoned buildings that are currently not being used for anything. These ineffectual buildings would be given new life with vertical farming and the larger the building, the more crops could potentially be grown there for citizens.
Also have a look at this useful RG link.
Article Feeding the Future of Agriculture with Vertical Farming
Vertical farming can grow more crops with less land and less water than conventional agriculture, with no pesticides, year round. By tailoring growing conditions to the exact needs of the plant, vertical farming could give much higher quality crops. https://www.futurefarming.com/Smart-farmers/Articles/2020/4/Vertical-farming-sector-struggles-with-costs-569801E/
We’ve seen the rise of numerous innovations designed to improve our world and mitigate issues that come with a rapidly expanding global population. Vertical farms are part of a rising influx of ‘urban agriculture,’ which allows food to be grown closer to large population points. Now more people are recognizing the value of vertical farming, although few people understand what it really is. It’s got a ton of benefits, but we still have to weigh those against other factors to really determine if vertical farming can take over the future of agriculture. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.igrow.news/igrownews/is-vertical-farming-the-future-of-agriculture-1%3fformat=amp
Vertical farming is promising. Many vertical farms are being established in homes, warehouses, multi-storied buildings, and specially designed constructions. In a lot of urban areas, vertical farms are being constructed and used as the new ‘rooftop garden’. The idea is to create a more ecological, accessible, and economical approach to mass food production. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.igrow.news/igrownews/is-vertical-farming-the-future-of-agriculture-1%3fformat=amp
Frank T. Edelmann
Dear Professor Edelmann,
Thank you for posting this very relevant question that has been the subject of debate in some conferences I attended. Vertical farming will certainly play a major role in densely populated urban areas. But this will be limited to vegetables and some non-tree fruits but not for staples like rice, wheat, barley, potatoes, and others. These staple food crops as well as most fruits and livestock will still have to come from the farms in rural areas. This is why each country must protect a good part of its arable land for food production. In my humble view, vertical farming will not be able to feed the 7-8 billion people around the world, and thus it will not be the future of agriculture. But I am strongly convinced that it will be an important part of agriculture in the future.

Victor Asio
Is vertical farming the future of agriculture? Well I am totally agree
Because of following advantages of vertical farming.
1. Ensures Consistent Crop Production
2. Uses Space Optimally
3. Reduces Usage of Water
4. Cuts Down on Transport Cost
5. Less Labour Costs
6. Energy Efficient
7. Doesn’t Involve Chemicals or Pesticides
8. Limits Occupational Hazards
9. Larger Produce

Vertical Farming is an emerging technology aiming to increase crop production per unit area of land in response to heightened pressure on agricultural production.
Article Vertical farming: a summary of approaches to growing skywards
Yes, it is definitely promising. With emerging population pressure, rapid urbanization, escalating imbalance between rural poor and urban rich people, search for alternate food towards immunity against recent pandemic, etc........as well as for aesthetic gratification....... vertical farming is being accepted globally irrespective of geography, demography or socioeconomic divergence .......in a slow but steady mode.
The vertical farming is a good solution for the future. They are built in the vicinity of large cities and provide fresh vegetables and fish in the best cases (some pilot vertical farms are using the waste water from plant production to feed fishes). Solar energy is the sole source of energy for the production of electricity needed for such “factories”.
Vertical agriculture represents the future of agriculture in countries with limited agricultural areas, but in countries that have large areas, they must utilize these areas optimally in the beginning, since this system of agriculture is economically inexpensive compared to vertical agriculture at least the present time.
Vertical farming is a better future, it will play a major role near pre-urban areas and golf countries.
YES, Vertical farming is the future of agriculture because due to increase in population and indutries, the land area is decreasing due to which in future the opting of vertical farming is very useful. In a very small area or in terraces, balconies or in a very small space we can do farming and make our environment clean and green.
The vertical farming is and will be the future development trend of agriculture, especial for vegetable planting. It will play an extremely significant role in modern agricultural development and food security.
I would like to explain from the micro perspective. Nowadays, comparing the rural area with thee urban district people live, they can plant the organic vegetable and other plant by means of limited space where it can provide health, organic and green production than large-scale planting area where overmuch and redundant fertilizer and pesticide have been used. It can indirectly lead to the commercial farmers to use less or proper fertilizer and pesticide as well as less vegetable transport from long distance to reduce the petrol usage which is beneficial for climate change and soil protection. It is advantageous to our health and meets the issue of food security. The safety is always the top one.
From the macro perspective, I absolutely agree with Porf Abdelkader BOUAZIZ's point that this technique has some drawbacks: high initial investment money, less labors (unemployment problem), excessive use of energy (such as electricity) and chemicals.
Hope the above mentioned is in order with you. Be safe and blessed.
Dear Prof. Frank T. Edelmann.
I am sure that Vertical Farming is nothing that will help humanity in future. Plants that grow under laboratory conditions need no resilience against environmental influences. As a system isolated from the environment it needs high energy and resource input. The outcome will be unstable plants that are lacking secondary plant metabolites that are important for them and us to thrive. In my opinion vertical farming distracts from problems that are actually relevant for a sustainable future. Problems like climate change, excessive resource and energy use, land degradation, soil sealing, uncontrolled population growth, uncontrolled economic growth and so on. Systems like organic farming, regenerative agriculture, maybe even permaculture might be answers to these problems. But not such a resource-intensive System like vertical farming. Vertical farming will surely intensify the problems that endanger our planet.
Regards, Julian Habichtsberg
Yes Sir,
Vertical farming has a lot of promise and sounds like a potential farm of the future but vertical farming technology is still relatively new. Companies have yet to produce crops on a scale and make it economically feasible to satisfy the increasing demand for food.
Moreover, the vertical farming market is projected to hit USD 7.3 billion by 2025 from USD 2.9 billion in 2020 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.2% during the forecast period. High yields and numerous other benefits associated with vertical farming over traditional farming like less water usage, advancements in light-emitting diode (LED) technology, year-round crop production regardless of weather conditions, less exposure to chemicals & diseases are key drivers for the future of vertical farming.
Dear Sir and Moin aus Osnabrueck
NO und Yes. Sorry, I differ clearly from the previous answers.
Yes vertical farming is a possibility for vegetables and "bush fruits"; to grow vegetables in limited spaces, especially in densely populated areas. The energy balance and energy efficiency of vertical farming must be considered. But there are intelligent and well thought-out solutions. Especially in cities for the "expensive" cultures such as lettuce or peppers and so on I see a possibility for the future.
But a clear "NO" for typical agricultural products such as cereals, maize, rapeseed, sorghum, rice, cotton, peanuts, pumpkin, melons, etc.
With best regards from Osnabrück, Stefan
Definitely sir, vertical farming is the future of agriculture. There is a huge degradation of cultivable land occurring in recent times and demand for food is increasing day by day as the population rise. In these scenarios, vertical farming can be a boon for agriculture. But comparatively, it is a new technology so particular practices and related protocols are required for its great success.
Thank you so much dear Sir @ Dr. Prof. Frank T. Edelmann to draw the nice question regarding "Vertical farming". It's an important urban agriculture, it's true that day by day our cultivable land are reducing and conversely population is increasing. To consider the reality, it is easy to say the vertical farming the future of agriculture and it has good prospects, indeed,
By tailoring growing conditions to the exact needs of the plant, vertical farming could give much higher quality crops. Vertical farming can grow more crops with less land and less water than conventional agriculture, with no pesticides, year round. https://www.futurefarming.com/Smart-farmers/Articles/2020/4/Vertical-farming-sector-struggles-with-costs-569801E/
Vertical farming saves a lot of water. Vertical farmers can grow crops with 70 to 95% less water than the required amount for normal cultivation. Of course, conventional farmers have some ways to conserve water such as drip irrigation, rotational grazing, and crops covering among other things. https://earthbuddies.net/vertical-farming/
It’s predicted that by 2050, 80% of world population will live in urban areas, and the growing number means increasing demand for food. Conventional, traditional methods of farming won’t be effective to meet the demand, and so the new type of farming will play a significant role to to prepare that kind of problem.
With vertical farming, you can get 4 to 6 acres of production capacity in only 1 acre. When it’s roughly calculated, a 30 storey building of 5 acres can produce an equivalent of 2.400 acres of horizontal farming. Also, you can continuously grow your crops all year round because the facilities are climate-controlled by advanced technology. https://earthbuddies.net/vertical-farming/
No doubt that many advantages of vertical farming as compared to our traditional agriculture. Vertical farming may be a good solution for food sourcing. A biggest advantage of vertical farming is a little space is required as compared to the amount of crops that can be produced.
No, la respuesta es no, especialmente porque el suelo como tal no existe, ha perdido su función, se les sustituye, ademas por recursos que no son renovables, ahora bien, otra cuestión es si, este tipo de sistema, nos puede ayudar a experimentar, atendiendo al hecho de que, el proceso de declive del planeta se ha iniciado y no existe vuelta atras, por tanto, como decia el prestigioso sociólogo, jose maria rosella, este tipo de practica, no son mas que ensallos para crear una huerta intergalactica en un futuro.
yes vertical farming is the future of agriculture particularly in vegetables and ornamental horticulture/flowers in urban areas. The south Asian region including India ,China, Japan, and other adjoining countries are the areas. Except very drier regions other areas are most suitable.
Dear @Frank T. Edelmann Yes, it is the future of agriculture. As per capital land availability is declining day by day due to population explosion, humans will have to promote growing crops in vertically placed stacks under controlled environmental conditions. However, before it's wide scale adoption quality of product produced through vertical farming vis-a-vis natural farming needs to be compared.
Regards!
Certainly NOT!! Before we go rushing off after the latest hi tech/ high carbon footprint/ high input cost we should combat the destruction of the soil microbiome so that the soil can absorb rain and prevent soil erosion and flooding. I could go on all day about this but try searching for Regenerative Agriculture and Soil Health both on google and You tube (for conference lectures). And BTW grazing animals are part of the solution not part of the problem ! (ref the work of the Savory Institute)
Dear Frank T. Edelmann , thanks for sharing the question.
Is Vertical Farming Really the Future of Agriculture?
"By now, the images of shelves full of perfect greens in hulking warehouses, stacked floor to ceiling in sterile environs and illuminated by high-powered LED lights, have become familiar. Food futurists and industry leaders say these high-tech vertical farming operations are the future of agriculture — able to operate anywhere, virtually invincible against pests, pathogens, and poor weather, and producing local, fresh, high-quality, lower-carbon food year-round...
Most vertical farmers are only hoping to claim a percentage of the conventional produce market, not replace it. To these founders and their investors, the market for lettuce and greens ..."

Yeah ,really it is one of the best option to deal with the scars resource competition in this sky rocketing speed of increasing population exponential and decreasing resource geometrical.In this case vertical farming will be best option to increase production in unit area vertical farming saves a lots of resources and very efficient as one best alternative

Dear Pankaj Yadav good to see that you are willing to accept the advice given by Ljubomir Jacić!. It is generally more useful to the readers of a thread like this if you formulate your answer in your own words.
thank you so much Frank T. Edelmann for your instruction I had great learning from this and it will certainly help in my further journey .
High input use efficiency as well as effective natural resource utilization are prospective areas for its wider adoption and applicability in future farming due to shrinkage of arable land and depletion along with non conservation of water resources.
Vertical farming=less water, less space, less pesticides, out of weather restrictions. So I think yes it is promising farming

Vertical farming highly suitable for vegetables cultivation in both rural & urban areas. During natural calamities it highly help to the the farmers.
IN THE PRESENT TIMES, WHEN THE ARABLE LAND IS DECREASING AT AN ALARMING RATE AND LAND DEGRADATION IS AT ITS WORST STAGE. WE HAVE TO GO FOR VERTICAL FARMING, NOWADAYS, IT IS BEING MOSTLY PRACTICED IN URBAN SUBURBS AND EVEN UTILIZING SPACES BELOW FLYOVERS, BUILDINGS, TERRACE ETC. BUT, SIDE BY SIDE, ONE THING WE SHOULD ENSURE OF APPLICATION OF LESS OF CHEMICAL AND PESTICIDES AND MORE OF ORGANIC MANURES.
Never!You can't feed all the world with vertical farming.Field and greenhouse growing always will be used.
It is a great idea for Japan that has a land shortage. But, what about many countries, like Sudan that have a wide area and the people don't have enough food to eat!

Vertical agriculture has shown great progress in developed countries. For farmers with economic limitations, from developing countries, farms of this nature would not be very viable due to the cost of the different activities involved in these processes.
Light is the most expensive energy.That is why greenhouses use this energy free from the sun.Although vertical farming use led lights which are more economical than other bulbs,still you need energy to use and pay for it.That is why greenhouse growing will continue.If you grow lettuce in vertical farming with led lights will be more expensive than open field and greenhouse growing using solar energy.Turkey is a sunny country and we grow lettuce in the field and greenhouses with very little cost.That is why growing lettuce in vertical farming can not compete with them. Soilless growing is already been used in greenhouses which uses free solar energy.
Vertical farming, in my opinion, in the future will be integrated into all greenhouses, for the propagation phase. I don't believe it will replace traditional horizontal cultivation, except in extreme environments, because it does not make sense giving up the energy coming from the sun.
Claro que es un tema de gran interes, pero requiere de gran energia exomatica, el poder energetico del suelo como tal no ha lugar, y por tanto, los sustituimos por sustratos muy alejados del suelo como tal,.
creo que el huerto vertical, tiene que ver mas con un anhelo del ser humano que vive en la ciudad, por conectarse con la naturaleza, creo que tiene que ver con ese desequilbrio que sufre el ciuadano en la gran urbe, en definitva no deja de ser un síntoma, de una sociedad enferma, desesperada por el verde, sin embargo para mi la solución al problema de fondo, es acercar la naturaleza a las ciudades, corredores verdes de conexión, verdaderos cinturones verdes como en su momento tuvo la ciuad de valencia, no obstante, insisto, no me parece mal, es un comienzo,
si preguntaramos a las plantas, ellas, elegirian huerto horizontal, llevarlas al balcon o a la fachada, es llevar al extremo la domesticación
recordemos que ellas, las plantas, son inteligentes
gracias
Muy interesantes todos y cada uno de los argumentos que se exponen en esta pagina, donde el nivel científico es ciertamente elevado, es un orgullo para mi, que me dejen compartir este espacio con gente tan ilustre, yo no soy un científico como tal, soy agricultor, mi espacio agrario se situalo en la provincia de valencia.
El tema de los huertos verticales me parece muy interesante, pero des de un punto de vista eficiente, dudo que puedan aportar una solución, dado que se requiere una gran cantidad de energía exóamtica, para la obtención de una unidad alimentaria, por otra parte, un huerto vertical, fuerza el ciclo natural de la planta, por el hecho de que las condiciones en las que vicie, están muy alejadas de sus condiciones naturales ( en lineas generles, dado que en la naturalez, existene plantas que requierne de paredes escarpadas para poder vivir)
Por otra parte, las planas del huerto horizontal, no solo cuentan con la capa superficial del suelo, tambien disponene del del subsuelo, y este no se ha limitado a ejercer como tal una función de génesis, el subsuelo sobre el que se sustentes el suelo, es algo mas, es vital, en todo los ciclos,de la capa arable, participa en cada una de las reacciones metabólicas del suelo, de el, las plantas adventicias, obtienen por ciclaje nutrientes que incorporan a la planta cultivada.
Muchas gracias

As the land area is decreasing gradually to feed the over population vertical farming is very essential. Once upon a time it will be considered as future agriculture. It can be implemented by the process of roof top gardening, hydroponic cultivation etc. Cultivation through Controlled environment will be the another way to follow this farming.
Quiero recordar en este sentido, con contestación a Md Abul, que el cultivo hidropronico, esta estrictamente prohibido por el reglamento que regula la agricultura ecológica a nivel europeo.
Aveces un espacio te llama poderosamente la atención, uno se siente parte de el, una atracción que resulta al principio extraña, pero que poco a poco te vas familiarizando, el poder de atracción, hacer que dicho espacio quede mapeado de alguna forma en la memoria, recorrer mentalmente dicho espacio es una forma de habitar en el des de la distancia, es lo que le pasa a rafa, un permacultor, rafa, tiene su zona cero claramente establecida en este espacio, este espacio le suministra energía a su metabolismo, los alimentos que me oferta, son pura delicia, uno nota flujos y reflujos, que parecen disociados de la propia estructura molecular del alimento, como si el amor del agricultor, convertido en sustancia se entremezcla con la materia vegetal.
Esto es para mi agroecologia, cuando el agricultor llega a ese nivel de compenetración, en realidad cuando se funde con el propio entorno.
No, I do not think that vertical farming is the future of agriculture but it could be an alternative pathway for a sustainable and regional production in cities. Answering this question, we clearly need to keep in mind that the standard of farming we are used to in Germany or even Europe is not what's considered farming in a global perspective. Nevertheless, I think that vertical farming can be a very smart alternative to produce high-value crops in densely populated areas such as cities or countries like Singapore or also Switzerland where the ground is very expensive and labour costs are high. Those countries may be able to compete with rural systems as energy there is often cheap and also from a socio-environmental perspective, it makes sense to keep distances short for products and for employees. Many crops are already grown in greenhouses today but in my opinion, we still need a better understanding of why indoor-grown crops sometimes are very different from outdoor-grown one's. Maybe there is a niche to fill and in this context, we might also need to increase efforts in breeding for indoor-crops. Such crops should be able to deal with higher amounts of light and grow faster. Then things might get even more interesting.
I don't think it will be the future of agriculture. It is not yet prominent in most countries of the World, especially less developed.
Yes, of course, the vertical farming is it the future of agriculture with plant breeding , acuaponic and hydroponic agriculture .
Dear Fernando Amoros , please do post your contributions in English language, as an official language of Researchgate. Then, many more people could comment on your posts. There were 4 posts recently.
Thank you for the recommendation, but I only have the ability to understand some English (reading), I have problems writing, if it does not seem bad to you, when the idea to present is complex, I will do it in Spanish, and when I It is easier, I will try in English. I thank you however for the advice, I am very happy to be part of this group of elite people, in the scientific field, I am just a farmer, with some agricultural training.
For me it is not the solution, the solution to bring people closer to the countryside, for the reconnection of people with nature, for the repopulation of the rural world, rural development, giving importance to infrastructures, so that the city that lives in the countryside, have access to culture, health, leisure, under equal conditions.
Dear Fernando Amoros , use Google translate. Write in Spanish and ask for English version, and vice versa when you do want to understand answer in English in order to comment.
https://translate.google.com/?sl=hr&tl=en&op=translate
In my opinion, if vertical farming is not 'Option A', it will be an 'Option B'.
In the long run, I believe due attention will be given to it to feed the ever-increasing world population.
You are welcome dear Fernando Amoros . But, for me, it is so strange that you have so many articles in English language as coauthor in a field of medicine, not the field of agriculture or ecology, sustainability. Something wrong is here. You should know English with so many citations. Or I am wrong!!!! What do you think dear Frank T. Edelmann ? It looks strange!

Change is a dynamic process so none of farming is absolute replacement in diversified culture, climatic conditions, policy and programmes by various nations and their government but already discussed prospective aspects viz. high resource use efficiency, high crop intensity, decreasing arable land, knowledge rich societies along with high awareness for safe and nutritious food items are several bright sign in its future perspective.
Dear Ljubomir Jacić, I apologize to the entire group, I only have experience in the field of agroecology, I manage a vegetable seed bank of autochthonous varieties in the Valencian community, it was not my intention to interact in other fields in the I am not competent, I insist on asking for forgiveness, but it has been due to lack of habit in handling, which is for me a very interesting web page, I would like to receive instructions from you, to prevent this unfortunate situation from happening again Sincerely; Fernando Amorós
Dear Fernando Amoros,
I don't think you should apologize for being interested in learning...
Dear Ljubomir Jacić,
I don't understand why you are so hard on Fernando Amoros and his desire to learn more...
If he is uncomfortable in writing in English, he could use Google translate, but so could you...
Dear Fernando Amoros it is fine to learn more, you are welcome to. Most of us do join different discussion rooms, this is not the problem. Learning is a lifelong process.I have helped you 7-8 days ago and I have even recommended your answers. I think I have helped you at that point.
The main problem is your authorship in many multi-authors articles which belong to medicine, but they have been published in English! Having that fact in mind, you should be expert in medicine, with good knowledge of English. As I have recommended you Google translate, for which you were grateful. There is a suspicion that you are the co-author of these published articles in medicine, in English.
This could have happened for two reasons:
1. Unintentionally, due to ignorance of the Researchgate publication input tool. Maybe there is another researcher of the same name and surname, and you attributed those articles to yourself.
2. Intentionally, if it is about you, where you were simply added as a co-author.
I would like to know the truth from you dear Fernando Amoros .
I would also to know the opinion of the author of the thread, dear Frank T. Edelmann .
Dear Marco de Leonardis , I see that you have just joined Researchgate community. The basic rule is to read previous posts in order to be informed, especially to read the answers which you have commented. Visit my answers related to dear Fernando Amoros , and and it will be clear to you when you read it. I have attached help, one screenshot.
I think that your answer would be much better then. Thanks for suggesting me to use Google translate. I am retired academic and I find my English enough understandable without using any translate tool.
Dear Ljubomir Jacić,
I did read your post and my thoughts were it could be the researchers, Fernando Amoroso was coauthor with, might know the English language well enough to be able to write a paper.
I hope I did not offend you with my comment.
I speak and read 6 languages and I always encourage people to try and learn more, however, often they are intimidated and afraid of making mistakes.
Your English is excellent! My suggestion was to use Google translator to read answers written in other languages, as in the case of the answer from Fernando in Spanish.
Dear Marco de Leonardis , thanks for your response. Have you visited this link with his articles, have you seen what I am talking about?
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Fernando_Amoros/publications
You may find second link where the author with same name appear in 20 publications. That man is not the member of Researchgate, this is not Fernando Amoros
https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Francisco-Amoros-2122540841
You should have more serious approach when you join some discussion, especially when you comment without the argument.
Dear Marco de Leonardis , are you aware that dear Fernando Amoros has clicked the blue button "Are you Francisko Amoros", and he has picked up all the contributions which were offered by RG database of publications with same or similar name.
https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Francisco-Amoros-2122540841
My suggestion for him is to remove the publications from his profile.
Dear Ljubomir Jacić,
I was not aware of this fact.
I consider plagiarism a felony.
If this is proved Fernando Amoros should be banned from RG website.
Yes, in many countries, it will be especially in countries are undergone salinity and pollution.
In other countries may exploit desert or forests or ranges.
Dear Yasir S. Sekhi , you should read previous answer. This resource was brought to this thread by Sadanad Pandey on November 19th, 2020. There is no need for multiplication.
Estimado Marco de Leonardis , me parece por su parte una aportación ciertamente inteligente, y si es cierto, ha dado usted en la clave, no me siento seguro en el ingles pese que adoro esta y otras lenguas, me he sentido reconfortado, todo y que no vi en el comentario del compañero mala fe. Se que aparezco como coautor,en algunas ocasiones, pero no era mi intención, yo solo quería hablar de mi experiencia en agroecologia, desde un punte de vista practico, y pos supuesto, en en ámbito exclusivo de la agricultura, pero por lo visto, no he sabido hacerlo bien. gracias de nuevo.
Certainly, it's a urban agriculture and It has good future prospects.
