Indoor farms are blossoming and flourishing everywhere. Urban greenhouses are springing up in cities around the world and the value of the indoor farming industry is expected to more than triple from US$5.5 billion in 2020 to US$20 billion by 2026, according to market research company Statista.
Taking farming indoors not only solves issues of land scarcity but also provides a sustainable solution to the demand for fresh food in urban areas. Instead of transporting perishable leafy greens from distant locations, city dwellers get access to healthy produce year-round while reducing carbon emissions from transport.
