Abstract

Vertical farming is one of several ideas that are being developed further by diverse research groups, companies and private citizens. Due to the growing problems of urbanisation and a growing population, vertical farming has presented itself as one possibility to feed people, particularly in large and densely crowded cities, in an effi cient and eco-friendly way. Interestingly, while agrotextiles are often used in agriculture and textile fabrics can be bought, for example, as frames for small vertical farming solutions for private balconies, only a few researchers have studied the possibilities of using textile fabrics as substrates for vertical faming to date. This study provides an overview of possible future applications of textile fabrics in vertical farming solutions.
