Vertical farming can do more than lettuce. A research team headed by TUMCREATE, a research platform in Singapore, led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has investigated the cultivation of six food groups in vertical farming: crops, algae, mushrooms, insects, fish and cultivated meat. In this study published in PNAS Nexus, the researchers show the positive effects of vertical farming on both yield and environmental impact and underline its role in future food security.
