Vertical Farming techniques regulate parameters like the quantity of light, ecological factors like temperature, humidity, gases, etc., and soil nutrition factors which include the use of fertilizers and other soil products. In some vertical farms, natural light is used in concurrence with artificial lighting and metal reflectors, similar to greenhouses.

The North American vertical farming market is sustained by the growth in the use of technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) in vertical farming, the rapidly expanding populace, and an increase in the annual production of crops. The efficacy of artificial lighting to enhance the yield, health, and growth rate of plants, coupled with lower dependency on the weather for production, is driving the market from the producer side. Increasing consumer demand for organic foods, foods free from pesticides, organic foods, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is the main driving force of the market. Extraordinary costs of lighting equipment and continuous maintenance requirements are the restraints faced by the vertical farming market.
