The most common myths about :
❌ 1. "Vertical farming is a passing fad"
✅ The truth: It's not a hipster trend, but a structural response to the scarcity of fertile soil, the climate crisis, and urbanization.
📊 According to FAO and UN data, 70% of the population will live in cities by 2050. We need urban, scalable solutions.
❌ 4. "It's all automated, we don't need humans"
✅ The truth: Automation reduces labor, but we need technicians, agronomists, programmers, and analysts.
🤖 Humans aren't disappearing: their roles are changing. The future of agriculture is tech-driven, but human-led.
❌ "Vertical farming is like growing in a greenhouse"
✅ No! Agronomic logic is changing completely. In vertical farming, the climate is completely controlled: there's no direct sun, no wind, and no seasons.
❌ "Vertical farming is 100% "
✅ No. The products are often zero-residue, but not certified organic because they don't use soil. Current regulations don't always recognize them as "organic," even if they're very clean.
