摘要： With the acceleration of global urbanization, vertical farming and urban agriculture have been proposed for addressing food security and sustainable development challenges. As a modern agricultural technology, vertical farming plays an increasingly important role in urban agriculture because of its efficient use of space, resources, and energy. Vertical farming maximizes land use by cultivating crops in stacked layers, allowing large-scale agricultural production in a limited space, thus alleviating land resource shortages. By precisely controlling environmental factors, such as light, temperature, humidity, CO2, and nutrient solutions, vertical farming provides crops with optimal growing conditions and increases yields while reducing reliance on fertilizers and pesticides and minimizing negative environmental impacts. Vertical farming has become an essential component of urban agriculture for food production. Owing to the efforts of researchers in related fields, vertical farming technology has made considerable progress in China. Optimizing the design and operation of vertical farms enables them to adapt better to urban environments and become sustainable pillars of the urban food supply chains. Despite progress, more research is needed to further improve vertical farming technology to meet the increasing demand for food in growing urban populations and achieve sustainable agricultural development. This article discusses the applications, technological advancements, and prospects of vertical farming for urban agriculture.
