By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth's population will live in cities. With the increase of human population, an estimated 109 hectares of new land will be needed to grow enough food to feed them. If traditional farming keeps on continuing as they are practiced today, there won't be enough land. Even if there were, traditional farming can also be harmful to land. Overused soil loses nutrients(营养). Farmers use chemicals to treat their crops. These chemicals get into the ground and run off into bodies of water. The polluted water supply does harm to the ecosystem(生态环境) and the health of those living things nearby.
Vertical(垂直的) farming systems can really help solve these problems. First, farms in urban areas will allow people to harvest fresh produce yearround. There is no need to worry about harm such as droughts or insects, which could destroy a crop. And indoor farms do less harm to the environment. They use less water than a traditional farm and 97 percent of fresh water is reused.Second, vertical farms use less energy because they don't depend on large farming equipment and long transportation systems to carry the food from farms to cities. And all of the crops in an indoor farm are grown without pesticides(农药), so they are fresh and healthy.
So, the next time you hear the word farm, don't just think of that large, open land with crops and animals. Think inside the city—it's the future of farming.
