What's the future of vertical farming? Can it become economically competitive with conventional farming? And, perhaps most importantly, does vertically farmed produce actually taste good? These are just a handful of the questions explored in this episode of the Hard Reset podcast.

Vertical farming involves growing crops in stacked layers in controlled indoor environments. While it offers solutions for urban agriculture, sustainability, and food security, it faces challenges including high setup costs and limitations on growing staple crops.

Despite this, its future looks promising, with potential for innovation in technology, potential widespread adoption from commercial entities to homes, and a role in reducing agriculture's carbon footprint.
