Vertical Farm Technology: Mind Blowing Startups That Will Change The World [2023 Edition]
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Foodverge”.
Vertical farm Technology start-ups are becoming more innovative in 2022. We look at how vertical farm technology is advancing by using controlled-environment agriculture practices which aim to optimise plant growth and nutrition. Furthermore, the growing process commonly involves the use of supplementary lightning-like LEDs.
Welcome to Foodverge. If you are interested in the future of food then this is the best channel for you. Each week we will look at trends and innovations transporting our food industry into the future.

Great video! Gives me a lot of hope about the future of farming 🙂
Thanks for the feedback🙏 Is there any other food trends you’d be interested in seeing?
@Foodverge Many developments in meat replacements are super interesting in my opinion, for example companies like Beyond Meat. Also, the use of Algae as food, and (although that’s a little bit abstract) how food production on Mars could function 🙂
@unbreakableldorado7 ahh V cool space. It’s an area I follow quite closely. I’ll get working on it for you 👍
@Foodverge great, thanks
Thank you, Jack, it’s a great presentation, I would suggest, if possible, focusing more on the use of techniques, costs, and practice of practicality
Hey Badi,
Thanks for the feedback. That’s a great suggestion. We may do a deep dive into a specific start up and cover it in more detail. Would that interest you?
Guy, he’s just reading each company’s marketing. He has no practical knowledge at all or the order of these companies would be in a very different order. That’s just the nature of youtube top ten lists. No offense to this dude – it’s just his hustle but see it for what it is.
@Jan Matheson check out our in-depth videos on the start ups. It has more insight into the inner workings of the companies.
@Foodverge trans and I will be there soon
Sadly Aerofarms just list their major financial partner because of their heavy reliance on electricity. I have developed a truly sustainable solution that uses 90% less electricity and 95-98% less water. That is the true future. Emerald Isle Growers Ireland, Growing More!
Sounds brilliant I’ll check it out. Are you in selling produce yet? What do you grow?
Can you tell us more?
@Astral what would you like to know? We’ve done an in-depth video on infarm. I bet you’ll like it
You could give your presentation more depth and relevance if you also presented once promising vertical farming companies that failed.
We are doing an in-depth video on a vertical farm start up that is super up to date and I hope you will find value in it. Jack
What is your favourite vertical farm start up at the minute?
@Foodverge Truthfully, none. They are all the same to me. They all produce the same leafy greens and maybe some strawberries on the side. Waiting for someone to come up with rice and wheat producing systems.
@Surunitemi Akanni-Oye That’s fascinating. I get your drift. You can’t feed the world on salad and berries.
@Surunitemi Akanni-Oye Cereal are such a staple for two things. They are very easy to grow (but have vary low energy denisty per surface planted) and can store quite well. Tbh cereal don’t make much sense as we know them in our current period. Also they would be the last to be implemented in any kind of greenhouse due their low energy density.
I would really like to work for one of those!!
Which one is your favourite?
Im only becoming a senior in high school but this is something I want to pursue when I am older
Great stuff we need smart people like you to want to get involved in the future of agriculture
Great overview. Does anyone know of a Vertical Farm Businesses that have some kind of franchise model for the technology? Something that doesn’t require large sums of money and can be started with a rather small team of 2-3 people?
Great video. Missing some major players. Otherwise, we’ll done.
Elevate farms is the way to go. If it’s not fda approved, I’m concerned
Thanks for the informative video. Great to see industry picking up steam and becoming efficient.
How about the energy consumption, carbon footprint etc
We have a video discussing all the disadvantages of vertical farming too!
cool but how is Bright Farms vertical? it is not in the images you’ve shown here…
Thank you! Do you know the link to the Small Hold Farms Response guide mentioned at 4:35 for achieving similar success in grow spaces?
You can find it on their website smallhold.com it outlines how to grow their mushrooms. They also provide an email you can reach out and ask them questions.
Vèry very Nice Masha Allah
Thanks! What’s your favourite project?
Infarm…what a great concept
Ya very cool, do you have one in your area?
Protio for these companies using aero-ponic
Invert the crop
Without having to focus on fighting gravety to grow and be strong enough to support the yield, the plant will create a greater yield…
Tomatoes inparticularly are fantastic this way, you can weave them like a vine through say chain link as well…
Things I learned growing weed back in ’09
Can’t help but wonder why it’s just now hitting the media… I thought, and hoped, I was the one who was behind
The moment you grow indoors is no longer sustainable👍
What about in areas with no ability to grow veg outside? Artic and dessert areas.
can you make an in-depth video on aeroponic towers?
Sure, we’ll get on it!!
Amazing Tech. Thanks for this presentation. Now we can choose which business model we can adopt.
What one did you like the most?
You need to know about NuLeaf in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This company is on the rise with it’s modular indoor vertical farming solution.
Cool I’ll look into them. What crops do they produce?
It’s a great video,
1. Electricty cost to grow plants vs free energy from the sun.
2. Startup costs to built a warehouse/aeroponic towers vs 0 cost of planting crops directly on the ground
3. Land acquisition cost of buying property near a city vs cheap land far away from the city.
