Market Report on Vertical Farming Products: Understanding Size, Share, and Growth Trajectories

The global vertical farming market size is expected to reach USD USD 24.95 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 20.1% from 2023 to 2030. Increased use of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for producing crops is likely to spur market demand over the forecast period. Information obtained from the sensors is stored on the cloud and analyzed to perform the required actions. The growing automation in agriculture and increasing use of big data and predictive analytics for maximizing yields are also likely to drive the market.

Vertical farming is effective in ensuring stability in crop production and maintaining reliability even in adverse climatic conditions. It provides multiple benefits over the traditional farming technique, such as less use of water, the lesser need for agrochemicals, and low dependence on agricultural labor. Vertical farming makes use of metal reflectors and artificial lighting to maximize natural sunlight.

Genetically modified organisms and the environmental and health effects of pesticides and other non-natural substances that are used for increasing agricultural production have encouraged consumers to adopt organic foods. According to the Organic Trade Association, the U.S. organic industry sales increased by around 5% in 2019 owing to the increased investment in infrastructure and education. As per the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990, the handlers and growers of organic products need to comply with the regulations.

Artificial lighting helps in extending the hours of natural daylight, which further increases the health, growth rate, and yield of the plants. Artificial lighting such as high-pressure sodium lighting and LED lighting can extend the availability of crops (throughout a season). LED lighting systems produce a dual-band color spectrum and generate low heat. They are anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

A hydroponic system is a method of growing plants without soil. A hydroponic system eliminates the need for pesticides and artificial ripening agents and helps in producing nutritionally-rich vegetables. However, factors such as high initial investment and fewer crop varieties are likely to restrain the market growth.

Harnessing the Power of Hyperspectral Imaging in Agriculture

The field of hyperspectral imaging in agriculture is making significant strides, offering a wide range of benefits to the industry. Space technologies play a pivotal role in providing extensive coverage and with the application of hyperspectral imaging, offer crucial and granular insightsfor overall agricultural productivity.

This article discusses how this technology presents a valuable solution to tackle critical challenges faced by agricultural businesses, including crop health monitoring, yield improvement, pest detection, and nutrient content assessment.

Optimizing Crop Management and Yield Enhancement:

The agricultural sector faces several challenges regarding crop management and yield estimation and optimisation, while coping with a growing global population and declining natural resources. Traditional approaches to assessing crop and soil health are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and lack accuracy, resulting in decreased productivity and adverse environmental impacts.

Hyperspectral Imaging utilizes its ability to capture a wide range of spectral bands to provide accurate and real-time information about the biochemical composition and health of crops. By providing precise information about variations in crop growth, nutrient imbalances, soil conditions, and early warnings for pest infestations and crop diseases, hyperspectral imaging empowers farmers and agronomists to make informed decisions and take timely actions.

Precise Weed Control and Nutrient Optimization:

One notable application of hyperspectral imaging is its ability to differentiate between crop species and weeds, facilitating targeted weed control measures, and reducing herbicide usage. By analyzing field-level details, farmers can observe changes in crop health and promptly address any issues.

Hyperspectral imaging also aids in monitoring nutrient content, pinpointing specific imbalances in plants or soil, enabling precise fertilization strategies, minimizing waste, and optimizing nutrient uptake.

Efficient Water Management, Effluent Monitoring, and Resource Conservation

Water scarcity and efficient water management, including effluent monitoring, are critical points of concern in modern agriculture. To address these challenges, hyperspectral imaging technology offers valuable insights and tools for optimizing water usage in agricultural systems.

By utilizing advanced sensors capable of capturing a wide range of electromagnetic wavelengths, hyperspectral imaging enables detailed monitoring of crop water stress, soil moisture levels, and irrigation needs. This capability enables farmers and agronomists to make data-driven decisions regarding irrigation scheduling, ensuring that water is applied precisely where and when it is needed.

By accurately assessing plant water status and optimizing irrigation practices, hyperspectral imaging helps conserve water resources, improve water use efficiency, and enhance crop productivity. Additionally, by integrating hyperspectral imaging data with other relevant parameters such as weather patterns and crop growth stages, farmers can develop predictive models and decision support systems for proactive water management, effluent monitoring, and resource conservation.

This holistic approach to water management empowers farmers to achieve sustainable agricultural practices, reduce water waste, and mitigate the impacts of water scarcity on crop production.

Early Disease Detection and Field Margin Monitoring:

Hyperspectral imaging contributes to early disease detection by analyzing the unique spectral signatures of crops, allowing farmers to proactively mitigate their spread and minimize crop losses. Additionally, hyperspectral imaging supports field margin monitoring, by providing valuable insights to assess and manage the health and biodiversity of these critical areas.

Furthermore, hyperspectral imaging assists in effluent monitoring, tracking, and managing agricultural waste and its environmental impact.

Precision Agriculture: Optimizing Crop Health and Variety Selection

In the realm of precision agriculture, hyperspectral imaging presents itself as a powerful tool for enhancing vegetation stress assessment and crop classification. By capturing data on stressors like water scarcity, nutrient imbalances, and pest infestations, hyperspectral imaging offers valuable insights into the overall health of crops. Armed with this information, farmers can proactively implement targeted mitigation measures to ensure optimal productivity.

Furthermore, the high spectral resolution of hyperspectral imaging enables accurate classification of different crop varieties based on spectral data analysis. This capability empowers farmers to effectively manage their fields, selecting the most suitable crop varieties for specific environmental conditions. By harnessing the precision of hyperspectral imaging, farmers can further optimize their operations, promote crop health, and maximize yields in the realm of precision agriculture.

Hyperspectral imaging is capable of addressing key challenges and providing valuable insights for efficient crop management. Embracing the potential of hyperspectral imaging is a vital choice for the agricultural industry to unlock its full range of benefits, leading to enhanced yields, improved pest detection, optimized nutrient assessment, efficient soil health evaluation, accurate disease detection, meticulous field margin monitoring, and informed pasture and herbal ley management.

As the agricultural sector continually seeks innovative and sustainable practices, hyperspectral imaging paves the way for a more productive and environmentally conscious future across the field.
