Modern city farms use modular structures, green roofs and home gardens to prove the possibility of growing fresh produce anywhere in the metropolis. The uniqueness of technological solutions lies in their flexibility and ability to adapt to the rhythm of urban life, integrating into the most unexpected spaces of megacities.

Next-generation vertical farms are equipped with artificial intelligence systems to analyze plant growth, monitor lighting levels, humidity and resource consumption. Technological equipment makes production predictable and highly efficient, providing a year-round harvest regardless of weather conditions.

The use of closed agrocycles, such as aeroponics and hydroponics, allows harvesting regardless of climatic factors. The introduction of climate control and automation of production processes contributes to an increase in the profitability of production by 30%, which is confirmed by the real results of operation.^[1]
