Vertical farming between sustainability and innovation

By Antonina Fusca

The "food system" is a complex concept that covers the entire chain of food production, distribution and consumption, influenced by social, economic, environmental and political factors. Its dynamics are intertwined with issues such as food security, sustainability, equitable access, technological innovation and climate change. Addressing these problems requires an integrated, multidisciplinary approach.The "wicked problems" are complex issues such as poverty, social inequality, food security and climate change, which have no simple solutions and require innovative approaches. ISTAT surveys provide key data to understand socioeconomic conditions and develop targeted policies.Agricultural innovation, represented by vertical farms such as Infarm and Planet Farms, offers promising solutions to improve resource efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and ensure a sustainable food supply. These technologies can help solve complex food system problems, improving food security and sustainability.
