Energy Efficiency in Vertical Farming | What UDC Research Found

How Does Energy Relate to Growing Food?

Indoor vertical farming is changing how urban cities grow food. This innovative agricultural technique uses roughly 90% to 98% less water than traditional farming methods by recycling and filtering water in resource-efficient irrigation systems. This process helps conserve resources while supporting pesticide-free food production.

Join us at the UDC Van Ness Campus for a free educational event to explore indoor farming and share research findings on how farmers can reduce energy use in vertical farming.

Event Details:

• Discover practical energy-saving strategies and explore innovations in sustainable food production.
• Learn about indoor agriculture opportunities happening right here in DC.
