7 Best crops for vertical farming
The process of selecting crops should be a part of a comprehensive
feasibility study undertaken by aspiring vertical farmers before
launching their operations, the corporate does supply a basic guide to a
number of the most productive and well-liked crops presently being
cultivated in vertical farms. These embrace the following:
 Lettuce
Lettuce and other leafy greens are by far the biggest crop grown by
indoor farmers. It’s not difficult to understand the popularity of the
humble lettuce: it’s quick and easy to grow, inconsistent demand all
year round, and available in dozens of different varieties so that
farmers can switch up their product from time to time without having
to change to a whole new crop.
 Kale
 Despite the predictions of some naysayers, the booming popularity of
kale is showing no signs of decreasing. Not only is kale a nutrient
powerhouse ounce for ounce, cooked kale is richer in iron than beef it’s
also delicious, incredibly versatile and, like lettuce, available in many
different varieties. A great choice for vertical farmers serving health-
conscious markets, kale is fairly easy to grow, although farmers must
take some care when harvesting in order to get the highest yield.
 Chard and collard greens
These dark, leafy green vegetables are not quite as popular as kale, but
they come close. Like kale, they can grow quite large in the proper
conditions, and they can be partially harvested multiple times, each
time growing back with a larger yield.
 Basil
Basil is an ideal crop for vertical farming. Basil is sensitive to cold
temperatures when grown conventionally in soil, basil is only available
for a few months each year so it responds very well to the climate-
controlled conditions of vertical farming in India. In addition, some
studies indicate that hydroponically-grown basil is richer in flavor than
fiChives and mint:-eld-grown basil because it contains 20 - 40% more
oils. Finally, compared to most other crops, basil can command a very
high dollar amount per pound, and because it is an important
ingredient in a great deal of restaurant cooking, it can often be sold in
larger amounts to local restaurants or other institutions rather than by
the ounce to individual customers.
 Chives and mint
These two herbs are some of the best crops for new vertical farmers to
start with. Chives and mint alike are easy to care for, have very quick
turns, and are easy to harvest due to their dense, grass-like growing
structure. Their distinctive flavors also make them very popular with
customers.
