Vertical farming allows for continuous production year-round while minimizing environmental impact by using less water, land, and eliminating pesticides. These systems rely on automated controls for light, nutrients, temperature, and humidity to create ideal growth conditions. In Indonesia, Ladang Farm in Cilandak, South Jakarta, is the country's tallest vertical hydroponic farm, rising 18 meters high. It grows roughly 33,000 plants—such as lettuce, Thai basil, Italian basil, mint, and perilla—and produces up to two tons of vegetables each month. The produce is supplied to hotels, supermarkets, and restaurants across Jakarta and available for purchase at the farm or via delivery.
