Wheat crisis opens door for huge indoor farming potential (Hortidaily)

April 18, 2022


Hortidaily published an article stating that as wheat prices surge amid a deepening conflict in Ukraine, lasting damage threatens an already weakened global food system. Governments must urgently prioritize food security through championing indoor vertical farming as a sustainable, long-term solution. IFPRI estimates that combined, Russia and Ukraine’s exports represent 12 percent of all the food calories traded globally, with the two countries accounting for almost a third of global wheat exports. There is no current contingency plan to bridge a colossal gap in international food production.
