Vertical farming solutions for sustainable food production in an sustainable environmentally friendly manner.
‍
By 2050, the world’s population is expected to grow by another 2 billion people, and feeding it will be a huge challenge. Due to industrial development and urbanization, we are losing arable lands every day. Scientists say that the Earth has lost a third of its arable lands over the last 40 years.

We don’t know how much more we are going to lose in the next 40 years. Increasing food demand due to a growing population along with ever decreasing arable lands poses one of the greatest challenges facing us. Many believe that vertical farming can be the answer to this challenge. Is vertical farming the future of agriculture? Let’s find out!

What Is Vertical Farming?
Vertical farming is the practice of producing food on vertically inclined surfaces. Instead of farming vegetables and other foods on a single level, such as in a field or a greenhouse, this method produces foods in vertically stacked layers commonly integrated into other structures like a skyscraper, shipping container or repurposed warehouse.
Using Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) technology, this modern idea uses indoor farming techniques. The artificial control of temperature, light, humidity, and gases makes producing foods and medicine indoor possible. In many ways, vertical farming is similar to greenhouses where metal reflectors and artificial lighting augment natural sunlight. The primary goal of vertical farming is maximizing crops output in a limited space.


How Vertical Farming Works
There are four critical areas in understanding how vertical farming works:

1. Physical layout,

2. Lighting,

3. Growing medium,

4. Sustainability features.

Firstly, the primary goal of vertical farming is producing more foods per square meter. To accomplish this goal, crops are cultivated in stacked layers in a tower life structure. Secondly, a perfect combination of natural and artificial lights is used to maintain the perfect light level in the room. Technologies such as rotating beds are used to improve lighting efficiency.

Thirdly, instead of soil, aeroponic, aquaponic or hydroponic growing mediums are used. Peat moss or coconut husks and similar non-soil mediums are very common in vertical farming. Finally, the vertical farming method uses various sustainability features to offset the energy cost of farming. In fact, vertical farming uses 95 percent less water.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Vertical Farming
Vertical farming has a lot of promise and sounds like the farm of the future. However, there are a few stumbling blocks to consider before rushing full-speed ahead into vertical farming.

Advantages
It offers a plan to handle future food demands
It allows crops to grow year-round
It uses significantly less water
Weather doesn't affect the crops
More organic crops can be grown
There is less exposure to chemicals and disease
Disadvantages
It could be very costly to build and economic feasibility studies haven't yet been completed
Pollination would be very difficult and costly
It would involve higher labor costs
It relies too much on technology and one day of power loss would be devastating

Farm diary app by Farmsoft for complete farm task management for spray, irrigation, fertilizer, maintenance, repairs, quality inspections, land preparation and all other farm tasks: full farm costs, budget, inventory, audits and recalls.  ... filling of diaries also makes the farmers dependent on the extension staff with the farmers having little knowledge of the certification process. Figure 3 below shows a sample diary of a farmer . The diaries form an important input for the Internal Control System (ICS), i.e., audit-based monitoring system which is defined as " a documented quality assurance system that allows the external certification body to delegate the annual inspection of an individual group to an 19 identified body within the certified operator " ( FAO, 2007, pp38). ...

The diary follows the daily happenings on the plantation, including weather, farming schedule, family comings and goings, and the development of the Civil War. In his diary, Thomas Maguire describes daily farm life; the buying and selling of goods such as cotton, the spread of smallpox and efforts to provide vaccinations. Maguire often makes references to the anxiety and excitement leading up to the Civil War. Dozens of entries mention preparations of Georgia units, sightings of Union prisoners-of-war, and Sherman's march through Georgia. On July 21, 1864 Thomas Maguire wrote that the Yankees robbed his house and ravaged the town of Rockbridge. In an attempt to prevent further harm to his property, he attempted to hide food and supplies, but Union soldiers continued to steal them. On November 16th he hid in the woods while Union soldiers attacked the plantation and shot his livestock. During these years, Maguire writes that many local slaves attempted to escape and join the Yankee army, although farmers thwarted their efforts. Although Thomas lost property and many farm hands, the plantation continued to function in the post-war years, although with less prosperity. The 1866 will of Thomas Maguire is also inside in the Farm Diary.

The Farmers’ Diary is an initiative to help farmers maintain correct and regular records of different activities of an enterprise and its related costs. It would ascertain the true costs of each farming enterprise and help in informed decision-making and improving farm business profitability.

The Farmers’ Diary of FSAPP is simple and can be used for any annual crop, be it vegetables or cereals. It is divided into six sections. The first is the record for inputs used in the production of a crop. Inputs would include, but not limited to, seeds and seedlings, fertilisers, farmyard manure, pesticides, weedicides, crates, bags etc. The quantity of each input with its corresponding unit and price must be recorded. The second section is to record the labour days, draught power days, machine days or hours by activities and its corresponding wage rate or prices. The third section is to record the production figures. Unlike cereals, some crops, especially vegetables may not be harvested at once and the production figure from each harvest of a crop will have to be recorded. The fourth section is regarding the expenses incurred for marketing such as transport and labour costs. The fifth section is about the quantity sold at different times and the prices obtained while the last section portrays the net income earned from an enterprise.
