Salad lovers, be prepared. The future of lettuce is vertical.

Lettuce, a leafy green that’s a staple in salads, sandwiches and wraps, is getting a makeover.

No, it’s not a new variety or hybrid. But the way it’s being grown is about to change.

The future of lettuce is vertical farming, and it’s a game-changer for the leafy green. Vertical farming is a method of growing crops in vertically stacked layers, using controlled environment agriculture (CEA) technology.

This allows farmers to grow more food in a smaller space, and it uses less water and energy than traditional farming methods.

For lettuce, vertical farming has several advantages. The controlled environment allows farmers to grow lettuce year-round, regardless of the season or weather conditions.

This means that consumers will have access to fresh, local lettuce all year long.
