FARMER

In the contemporary urban context, where cities face mounting pressures from rapid population growth and climate change,
food security emerges as a critical challenge requiring innovative
solutions. By 2030, nearly 60% of the global population will live in
cities, placing new pressures on already vulnerable food systems.
In this context, vertical farming emerges as a highly promising
solution. However, it still requires deeper investigation, particularly
with respect to effective implementation strategies. FARMER was
established in response to this metropolitan imperative. Its mission
is to develop a research-driven project focused on analyzing urban
food security challenges and formulating effective methodologies to
address them through vertical farming technologies.
