Philippines
Example of Vertical Farming
How Does Vertical Farming
Work?
It 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.
 Pros include:
Cons include
• Water use – in hydroponic systems water is re-used, cutting
water waste by perhaps up to 98% • Affordability - High setup cost, If using
• No deforestation for new farms – obviously vertical farms are artificial lighting would imply high
mostly in urban areas re-using buildings energy use and it should have a
• Reliance on animal agriculture – hydroponic nutrients are reliable power source for hydroponics
normally chemically- or plant-sourced
or aquaponics and has Higher costs
• Freshness - crops can go from harvest to table in hours
compared to farming traditionally on
• Lower crop failure – indoor farming is far easier to control in ground
regards to climate, soil variability, weather and pests. Allows
more experimentation with hard-to-grow crops. • Employee Expertise - Harder to find
• Much lower contamination risk – again, shorter delivery

• Controlled Environment – Removes the factor of Droughts • It is harmful to the Environment as the

Introduction to Social
Classes
Ways of determining a social
class:
The objective method measures and analyzes “hard” facts.

The subjective method asks people what they think of themselves.

The reputational method asks what people think of others.
