DISEÑO DE UN MODELO DE PRODUCCIÓN VERTICAL PARA FRESA Y LECHUGA

Abstract

Over the past century, skyrocketing global demand for food has exacerbated critical problems such as hunger, malnutrition, and food insecurity. This challenge is directly attributable to constant population growth, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable groups. The evolution of agricultural systems has intensified pressure on land areas, raising the urgent need to find sustainable solutions.

Addressing global hunger and malnutrition has become imperative, and the key lies in ensuring agricultural sustainability. In this context, territorial planning emerges as an essential element, promoting projects that not only satisfy current food needs, but also preserve ecological balance and promote sustainability.

The research adopts a methodology focused on identifying conceptual gaps in vertical production, updating knowledge through a comprehensive bibliographic review with quantitative and qualitative analyses. The experimental essence of the project is oriented towards the generation of innovative designs for integrated systems in a vertical farm. Finally, the design of a vertical farm prototype will not only address food security in rural and urban areas, but will also position itself as an industrial solution, significantly contributing to the mitigation of malnutrition, the eradication of hunger and the prevention of consequences. fatalities resulting from food shortages. This innovative approach not only seeks to meet current demand for food, but also aims to lay the foundation for a sustainable future in food production, transforming our relationship with agriculture and ensuring food availability.
