CHAPTER 03

What is vertical farming?

  • Food is grown in vertically stacked layers, including where suitable land is unavailable.
  • Associated with urban farming, it can use soil, hydroponic or aeroponic methods.
  • The source claims 90% less water, reduced fertilizers and supplements, and no pesticides while increasing productivity.
  • Year-round growing is presented as offering greater potential yield than traditional farming on the same ground area.
Original slide & reference textOriginal source slide 3
Original English transcript
∞ Vertical farming is the process 
of growing food in vertically 
stacked layers, producing food in 
challenging environments where 
suitable land is unavailable. 
Associated with urban farming, it 
uses soil, hydroponic or aeroponic 
growing methods.
 ∞ The process uses 90 percent less 
water, less fertilizers and nutritional 
supplements, no pesticides, while 
boosting productivity.
 ∞ Vertical farms grow products year-
round, allowing to reach potential 
yields that are much more 
productive than traditional farm of 
the same area
VERTICAL FARMING

CHAPTER 04

Agricultural challenges

  • Population growth increases food demand, while climate change reduces agricultural productivity.
  • The source’s demographic and resource indicators are listed in the table.

CHAPTER 05

Drivers and benefits

  • Drivers: urbanisation; land-use change and environmental degradation; supply-chain discrepancies; demand for healthier food; climate-change impacts.
  • Claimed benefits: no pesticides or herbicides; circular resource use; hyper-local production; better flavour and nutritional value; higher predictable yields.
  • Production is presented as independent of climate and location, throughout the year.

CHAPTER 06

Hydroponics, vertical farming and the EU

  • EU drivers: scarcity of natural resources, soil degradation, climate change and urbanisation.
  • The Middle East contribution is linked to its climate and demand for sustainable agriculture.
  • The global graphic is labelled hydroponics, but the accompanying text describes the same figures as vertical farming.
Market figures as printed
Market20202026 forecastStated CAGR
Global hydroponics / vertical farming$5.5 billion$17.9 billion22%
EU hydroponics$182.1 million$200.1 million16%

Historical forecasts. Neither stated CAGR reconciles exactly with its endpoints; the EU discrepancy is substantial.

CHAPTER 07

Freshness and the consumer

  • Harvests 365 days a year; fresh, ready-to-eat products.
  • The presentation states that the consumer is the first person to touch the product.
  • Replacing chemicals with technology and organic inputs allows control of cultivation parameters to pursue taste and quality.

Strategic development plan

  • Bio-Alternativa SRL is described as an innovative organic-fertilizer producer and developer of vertical farming and CEA nutrition.
  • It is to implement the Bahrain AGRONAMA project, with a planned relocation of its office and own fertilizer production to Bahrain.
  • Stage 1: a Bahrain vertical-farming project with a strategic partner.
  • Stage 2: similar partner projects in Austria, Ukraine and MENA.
  • Following successful Bahrain projects, the stated ambition is to become a leading EU manufacturer and technology supplier, with an eventual IPO by analogy with American companies.
  • The slide also carries the heading Vertical farm joint project implementation in Austria.

Plans, not confirmed milestones. No completion dates, relocation confirmation or IPO schedule are supplied.
