Farming and Gardening

Urban farming, urban gardening and vertical indoor farming have been the trending topics of recent years. But what exactly is behind these terms, and where does urbanhive fit in?

‍Vertical Indoor Farming

Vertical indoor farming is a method of growing large quantities of food indoors in a small space, while being environmentally friendly. In "vertical greenhouses" - often multi-story buildings or warehouses - vegetables and herbs can be cultivated with the help of innovative technology. The hydroponic approach of vertical farming saves water and valuable space and requires no soil. This concept is already well established in Asia and the USA. It can certainly help to provide people with food more reliably and to protect the planet in the long term.

Urban Gardening and Farming

Like vertical indoor farming, urban gardening focuses on sustainability, freshness, and regionality. On small, public areas in urban settlements, vegetables are typically grown and harvested for personal consumption – thus eliminating transportation routes. Here, classic soil or other substrates are used. In addition to self-sufficiency, the need for greener and healthier cities plays an important role. Urban farming also involves cultivation in public areas. However, the focus here is not on growing vegetables and the like, but rather on useful and ornamental plants.
