A visually engaging video that explores how vertical farming works and why it’s revolutionizing agriculture in cities:contentReference[oaicite:22]{index=22}. Narrator Fred Mills takes viewers inside a modern indoor farm where crops grow in stacked layers under LED lights and controlled climate conditions. Students will discover the benefits of growing food 'up' instead of out: year-round production, drastically less water use, no pesticides, and proximity to urban markets. The video breaks down the technology – from hydroponic nutrient delivery to automation – that allows plants to thrive without soil or sunlight. By examining both the promises (fresh produce with a tiny land footprint) and challenges (energy costs of artificial lighting) of vertical farms, learners gain insight into a key agritech innovation aimed at feeding the future sustainably.
