Hydroponics growth mechanism is expected to grow at the highest rate in the vertical farming market between 2016 and 2022

The vertical farming market for hydroponics growth mechanism is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2022. This growth is attributed to the fact that hydroponics are a less complex method to implement. Moreover, growing crops indoor by using hydroponics eliminates the use of equipment used in traditional farming, thus reducing the burning of fossil fuels thereby reducing the emission of gases, which are harmful to the environment. Hence, there would be a significant reduction in air pollution and CO2 emission that cause climatic changes. Considering all these factors, many farmers or growers are adopting the vertical farming technology.
