India has become the world's most populous country, with nearly 1.4 billion people. While this presents opportunities for higher demographic dividends beneficial to the economy, it also exacerbates issues like resource scarcity, particularly in food security. Addressing this challenge is daunting, given the lack of scope for expanding cultivable land. Therefore, the imperative is to maximize productivity within the available land area. Vertical farming offers an innovative solution to food security concerns by maximizing production in limited spaces. It presents a lucrative opportunity for vertical farming in India. Many nations globally, including India, have witnessed significant expansion in vertical farming owing to its potential in addressing a critical issue: food security. These vertical farms can be established in densely populated regions to provide fresh, nutritious food to millions year-round, irrespective of weather conditions. In India, agricultural production faces constant challenges from soil degradation, desertification, and extreme weather events such as floods and droughts. Consequently, alternative farming methods like vertical farming are gaining popularity. Numerous startups and vertical farming enterprises are already operational in India, striving to supply major urban centers with locally sourced produce. This article aims to explore some of these vertical farms, the scope of the Indian vertical farming market, and the ongoing research in this area.
