dc.description.abstractThe text contextualizes increasing urbanization, climate change, and the limitation of natural resources as factors driving the adoption of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) systems. It highlights the potential of vertical farming to optimize the use of water, energy, and space, reduce supply chains and transport-related emissions, and enable greater control over the nutritional quality and safety of food. The editorial also addresses technical, economic, and regulatory challenges, emphasizing the need for technological innovation, integration with public policies, and assessment of economic feasibility. Overall, the work positions vertical farming as a complementary solution to conventional agriculture, playing a relevant role in the transition toward more sustainable urban agri-food systems.eng
