what an American journalist said when she shared her thoughts about vertical farming.\n</p><p>It actually makes sense because vertical farming produce is more expensive than traditional farming produce.\n</p><p>Running a vertical farm comes at a hefty price due to various extra costs that you don&rsquo;t need with nature.&nbsp;Artificial lighting, used in replacement of sunlight, is just one of these extra expenses.\n</p><p>Remember how I said that an advantage of vertical farms is that it\u2019s pesticide-free since vertical farming is done indoors?&nbsp;Well, this advantage ironically creates a disadvantage because indoor farming makes pollination challenging to do due to the lack of pollinators like <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/bee-facts%5C/%5C%22">bees.\n<p>The solution would be manually pollinating plants through hand pollination, which can be time-consuming and
