Abstract:

Vertical farm is also called a stereo planting farm, which makes farmland developed into a multistoried building, where crop growth environment is simulated and the recyctable energy and greenhouse technology is fully utilized. In this kind of farm, various high efficient agriculture productions can be proceeded. Taking Chicago vertical farm as an example, this paper analyzed the operation mechanism, commercial model, and existing problems of the vertical farm. Moreover, suggestions for accelerating the exploration and practice of urban vertical farm in China were raised from the aspects of strategic study, technology research and development (R&D), collaborative innovation, and platform construction, etc.

Key words: vertical farm, urban agriculture, ecological circulation

摘要：

垂直农场也叫立体种植农场，是把田地向多层建筑的楼层化农场发展，在人工修筑的多层建筑物里，充分利用可循环的能源和温室技术，模拟农田的农作物生长环境，进行各种高效的农业生产。以芝加哥垂直农场为例，分析了该垂直农场运行机制及商业模式，剖析了都市垂直农场发展相关问题，并从战略研究、技术研发、协同创新与平台构建等方面提出了加快我国都市垂直农场探索与实践的若干建议。
