A study published in Food and Energy Security reveals that while vertical farms in the UK can produce over 20 times the yield of traditional field farms and use significantly less water, they emit more greenhouse gases. Even with renewable energy, vertical farms produce 0.93 kg of emissions per kg of lettuce compared to 0.57 kg from field farms. The research highlights the need for vertical farming to become more energy-efficient and to explore alternative materials like coconut coir to reduce their environmental impact. Despite the current higher carbon cost, vertical farming holds potential for improving food security in the UK amid climate change challenges.
