Vertical Farming Expands Globally

As urbanization continues, vertical farming offers a sustainable solution to food production in densely populated areas. By growing crops in stacked layers within controlled environments, vertical farms reduce the need for arable land and minimize water usage. In 2024, expect significant growth in this sector as startups and established companies expand their operations, leveraging renewable energy sources and automation to scale production.

Precision Agriculture Takes Center Stage

Precision agriculture has been on the rise for several years, but 2024 is set to be a breakout year. Using advanced tools like GPS, drones, and IoT-enabled sensors, farmers can monitor crop health, soil conditions, and weather patterns in real time. These technologies enable precise application of water, fertilizers, and pesticides, reducing waste and improving yield. Look for increased adoption of AI-powered analytics platforms that provide actionable insights for decision-making.
