AVALIAÇÃO MULTICRITERIAL DAS FAZENDAS VERTICAIS CANADENSES COMO MODELOS SUSTENTAVEIS DE AGRICULTURA URBANA

Urban Farm DB summary

Against the backdrop of demographic projections that global population will reach 9.4 billion within the next 50 years, requiring an additional area of fertile land roughly the size of Brazil that does not exist on the planet, this study evaluated the economic viability of a Canadian vertical farm model as a sustainable urban-rural food production alternative. Using the NCIC method via a participant-observer approach, the study reported the model as economically viable and sustainable, as well as innovative in flattening production chains.
