This article identifies the potential environmental effects of large-scale indoor farming on air, water, and soil. It compares the differences between greenhouses and indoor vertical farms, highlights the benefits and challenges of indoor farming, and discusses the transformative environmental effects it may have. The article concludes with suggestions for additional research on indoor farming and its impact on the environment.
This article identifies the potential environmental effects large-scale indoor farming may have on air, water, and soil. We begin with an overview of what indoor farming is with a focus on greenhouses and indoor vertical farms (eg, plant factories). Next, the differences between these 2 primary methods of indoor farming are presented based on their structural requirements, methods of growing, media, nutrient sources, lighting requirements, facility capacity, and methods of climate control. We also highlight the benefits and challenges facing indoor farming. In the next section, an overview of research and the knowledge domain of indoor and vertical farming is provided. Various authors and topics for research are highlighted. In the next section, the transformative environmental effects that indoor farming may have on air, soil, and water are discussed. This article closes with suggestions for additional research on indoor farming and its influence on the environment.
