🌱 Why Vertical Farming Matters?


In the face of global challenges like population growth, climate change, and the need for sustainable food production, vertical farming has emerged as a vital innovation in the agricultural landscape. With the market for vertical farming expected to surge from USD 5.6 billion in 2024 to USD 13.7 billion by 2029, this approach is set to revolutionize the way we think about food production. 

🎓 Why Teach Vertical Farming? 



Vertical farming represents more than just an agricultural method; it’s a glimpse into the future of entrepreneurship in the food sector and food startups. Our Vertical Farming Business Simulation Game allows students to explore this innovative field by managing everything from crop growth to market strategies. Through this simulation, students gain practical experience in sustainable agriculture, learning to navigate the complexities of modern farming techniques and business decision-making.

By incorporating vertical farming into your curriculum through our business simulation game, you can provide your students with a deep understanding of this transformative technology.

➡️ Here’s what your students can look forward to:
