1.Introduction
By 2050, it's estimated that 80 percent of the world's people will live in urban
areas (currently, 60 percent do). The population will have increased to about 9.2 billion, much of
it in the developing world [source: New York magazine]. Many experts contend that unless
drastic measures are pursued, the world could face dramatic shortage in both food and arable
land. Famine and ecological catastrophe are among the possible dire consequences.
Enter vertical farming -- farming in skyscrapers several dozen stories high.
Dr.Dickson Despommier, a professor of public health and microbiology at Columbia university,
developed the idea with contributions from his students. Dr. Despommier claims that vertical
farms could do more than just solve future food shortages. they could also stave off global
warming, raise standards of living in the developing world and change how we get our food and
dispose of waste. it may sound far fetched, but vertical farming is actually a very real possibility
for the future.
1.1 Indian agricultural scenario
India is agriculture driven economy and agriculture has an socio-cultural impact. Agriculture in
India has a long history dating back to ten thousand years.
countrys cultivable land has marginally fallen in 2005-06, mainly due to diversion of farm land
for non-agricultural purposes.
Total cultivable land has declined to 182.57 million hectares in 2005-06 from 185.09 million
hectares in 1980-81.
During the same period, land under non-agricultural purpose went up to 24.94 million hectares
from 19.66 million hectares, resulting in a marginal fall in cultivable land
Today, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. agriculture and allied sectors like forestry
and logging accounted for 16.6% of the GDP in 2007, employed 52% of the total workforce and
despite a steady decline of its share in the GDP, is still the largest economic sector and plays a
significant role in the overall socio-economic development of India
The overall growth of the Indian economy has depended much on the performance of
agriculture. With a share of 2.7% of the world agricultural production, India is ranked sixth in
the world. Major part of agriculture in the country is rain fed. Agriculture is also the single
largest source of employment in India, even though its contribution to the national economy has
been shrinking over the years. About 54.7 percent of the land area is arable in India and
groundwater resources are considerable. The Gangetic plain is one of India's most fertile regions.
in this area, as well as in the peninsular deltas, groundwater is plentiful and close to the surface,
making year-round irrigation possible. These agricultural lands may produce two or three
harvests a year. Most of India's wheat and rice are grown here.
1.2 Food consumption and population
The changing food consumption patterns of Indias population is expected to not only increase
the requirement in absolute terms to $230 billion by 2013 but also qualitatively towards a richer
diet that will force increased commodity requirements as diets shift towards increasingly
processed foods.

The per capita availability of agricultural land in India has declined from 0.33 hectare in 1951 to
0.14 hectare in 2001-02 and it is likely to decline to about 0.05 hectare in 2035, according to an
official of the union agriculture ministry.
1.3 Problems
1. Less availability of food
2. Deforestation
3. Water scarcity
4. Malnutrition
5. Transition of present cultivable land to non-cultivable land for urbanization.
6. Damage of existing eco-systems.
1.4 Solutions
1. Population control
2. Increasing crop yield
3. Increasing agricultural land
We have chosen 3rd solution to tackle present problems. We are increasing agricultural
land, by construction of vertical farms.
Vertical farm building is a building specially designed and planned for commercial
cultivation of crops vertically i.e at each floor. This increases the possibility of multiple
farming on a single land.
1.5 Advantages of vertical farming

1. Year-round crop production; 1 indoor acre is equivalent to 4-6 outdoor acres or more,
depending upon the crop (e.g., strawberries: 1 indoor acre = 30 outdoor acres)
2. No weather-related crop failures due to droughts, floods, pests
3. All vf food is grown organically: no herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers
4. VF virtually eliminates agricultural runoff by recycling black water
5. VF returns farmland to nature, restoring ecosystem functions and services
6. VF greatly reduces the incidence of many infectious diseases that are acquired at the
agricultural interface
7. VF converts black and gray water into potable water by collecting the water of
evapotranspiration
8. VF adds energy back to the grid via methane generation from composting non-edible
parts of plants and animals
9. VF dramatically reduces fossil fuel use (no tractors, plows, shipping.)
10. VF converts abandoned urban properties into food production centers
11. VF creates sustainable environments for urban centers
12. VF creates new employment opportunities

13. We cannot go to the moon, mars, or beyond without first learning to farm indoors on
earth
14. VF may prove to be useful for integrating into refugee camps
15. VF offers the promise of measurable economic improvement for tropical and subtropical
LCDs. if this should prove to be the case, then vf may be a catalyst in helping to reduce or even
reverse the population growth of LCDs as they adopt urban agriculture as a strategy for
sustainable food production.
16. VF could reduce the incidence of armed conflict over natural resources, such as water
and land for agriculture

Literature review
2.1 By Dikson Despommier

ABSTRACT
The advent of agriculture ushered in an unprecedented increase in the human population and
their domesticated animals. Farming catalyzed the transformation of hunter-gatherers into urban
dwellers. Today, over 800 million hectares is committed to agriculture, or about 38% of the total
landmass of the earth. Farming has re-arranged the landscape in favor of cultivated fields and
herds of cattle, and has occurred at the expense of natural eco-zones, reducing most of them to
fragmented, semi-functional units, while completely eliminating others. Undeniably, a reliable
food supply has allowed for a healthier life style for most of the civilized world, while the very
act of farming has created new health hazards.
Introduction
As of 2004, approximately 800 million hectares of land were in use for food production,
allowing for the harvesting of an ample food supply for the majority of a human population
approaching 6.3 billion. These land-use estimates include grazing lands (formerly grasslands) for
cattle, and represents nearly 85% of all land that can support at least a minimum level of
agricultural activity. in addition, farming produces a wide variety of feed grains for many
millions of head of cattle and other species of domesticated farm animal. in 2003, nearly 33
million head of cattle were produced in the united states alone. in order to support this large a
scale of agricultural activity, millions of hectares of hardwood forest (temperate and tropical),
grasslands, wetlands, estuaries, and to a lesser extent coral reefs have been either eliminated or
severely damaged with significant loss of biodiversity and wide-spread disruption of ecosystem
functions.
What is meant by vertical farming?
Farming indoors is not a new concept, per se, as greenhouse-based agriculture has been in
existence for some time. Numerous commercially viable crops (e.g., strawberries, tomatoes,
peppers, cucumbers, herbs, and spices) have seen their way to the worlds supermarkets in ever
increasing amounts over the last 15 years. Most of these operations are small when compared to
factory farms, but unlike their outdoor counterparts, these facilities can produce crops yearround. Japan, Scandinavia, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada have thriving
greenhouse industries. as far as is known, none have been constructed as multi-story buildings.
Other food items that have been commercialized by indoor farming include freshwater fishes
(e.g., tilapia, trout, striped bass), and a wide variety of crustaceans and mollusks (e.g., shrimp,
crayfish, mussels).
ADVANTAGES OF VERTICAL FARMING
1.
Year-round crop production.
2.
Eliminates agricultural runoff.
3.
Significantly reduces use of fossil fuels (farm machines and transport of crops).
4.
Makes use of abandoned or unused properties.
5.
No weather-related crop failures.
6.
Offers the possibility of sustainability for urban centers.
7.
Converts black and gray water to drinking water by collecting the water of
transevaporation.
8.
Adds energy back to the grid via methane generation using inedible parts of crop
plants.
9.
Creates new urban employment opportunities.
10. Reduces the risk of infection from agents transmitted at the agricultural interface.
11. Returns farmland to nature, helping to restore ecosystem functions and services.
No-cost restoration of ecosystems: the principle of benign neglect
The best reason to consider converting most food production to vertical farming is the promise of
restoring ecosystem services and functions. There is good reason to believe that an almost full
recovery of many of the worlds endangered terrestrial ecosystems will occur simply by
abandoning a given area of encroachment and allowing the land to cure itself. this belief stems,
in part, from numerous anecdotal observations as to the current biological state of some
territories that were once severely damaged either by now-extinct civilizations or over-farming,
and, in part, from data derived from national science foundation-sponsored long-term ecological
research program (lter), begun in 1980, on a wide variety of fragmented ecosystems purposely
set aside subsequent to an extended period of encroachment. The following case studies will
serve to illustrate these points.
waste management and urban sustainability
Today, we face the challenge of trying to understand enough about the process of ecological
balance to incorporate it into our daily lives (i.e., do no harm). Our willingness to try to solve
problems that we ourselves have created is a measure of our selflessness and altruistic behavior
as a species. Thus, the second most important reason to consider converting to vertical farming
relates to how we handle waste, and particularly that which comes from living in urban centers.
waste management throughout the world, regardless of location, is in most cases unacceptable,
both from a public health and social perspective, and exposure to untreated effluent often carries
with it serious health risks. However, even in the best of situations, most solid waste collections
are simply compacted and relegated to landfills, or in a few instances, incinerated to generate
energy. liquid wastes are processed (digested, then de-sludged), then treated with a bactericidal
agent (e.g., chlorine) and released into the nearest convenient body of water. More often in less
developed countries; it is discarded without treatment, greatly increasing the health risks
associated with infectious disease transmission due to fecal contamination.
Predicted social benefits of vertical farming
Eliminating a significant percentage of land dedicated to traditional farming has obvious health
advantages regarding the restoration of ecosystem services, and for the immediate improvement
of biodiversity by simultaneously restoring ecosystem functions, as well. the social benefits of
urban agriculture promise an equally rewarding set of achievable goals. However, since the
vertical farm is still a theoretical construct, it is difficult to predict all of the potential benefits
that may arise from producing food in this manner. The first is the establishment
of sustainability as an ethic for human behavior. At present, there are no examples of a totally
sustained urban community anywhere in the world. the development of this keystone ecological
concept has remained identified solely with the natural world, and specifically with reference to
the functioning of ecosystems. Ecological observations and studies, beginning with those of teal,
show how life behaves with regards to the sharing of limited energy resources.
2.2 By Gail Cohen

Our planet is growing short on farm land, water and ways to manage crops assaulted by disease
and fickle weather changes. One way to answer the question of how we will manage our food
production in the future is to alter the way we think about the traditional farm and create new
ways to meet food demands. One of the most fascinating new ways of achieving this goal is a
clever concept called vertical farming. This efficient alternative to flat land agriculture is
practical, logical and attracting fans across the globe. You might say that vertical farming is the
personification of the old adage: "what goes up, must come down." all due respect to Isaac
Newton, in this case, the down would be an efficient drop of farm-fresh produce directly onto
your dinner plate.
1. Theories/Speculation
Projections for the world's agricultural future are bleak and dramatic. in less than 50 years,
80% of all humanity will live in cities. According to federal agricultural sources backed by
NASA-generated images from space, we are already using more than 80% of the viable land
on the planet to feed inhabitants. As climate changes further impact vulnerable farmland, and
as temperature changes and unreliable water sources affect our ability to grow food
efficiently, it has become incumbent upon scientists to devise ways to ensure our future food
supply. These collaborations have resulted in a radical idea that makes sense and offers a
plethora of benefits. They call it vertical farming.
2. Function
Imagine yourself living in a high-rise building and wanting to grow your own veggies. if you
have a terrace or balcony, starting a container garden -- a popular choice for those with a green
thumb and little space -- could be the answer to accomplishing your goal. Now, imagine yourself
in charge of feeding not just yourself but an entire community -- all from crops grown on your
terrace. Sound impossible? Its not if you imagine entire floors of your building packed with
growing produce. On each floor, densely planted crops spread across floors horizontally, creating
a tower of vegetation.
3. Benefits
The benefits of vertical farming are endless. Plant vertically and you can grow the same
number of crops per acre as today's farmer does in from four to six outdoor acres. weather
and worms? No worries. A vertical garden is all but immune from outside influences because
water is tightly controlled and the soil used to support crops is free of bugs and pests. water
systems engineered for vertical farming are pure efficiency -- pipes feed plants on all of the
farm's levels, tightly controlling the amount that's disbursed for maximum effects, then the
water enters a complex systems of drains and returns so it can be recycled. every inch of a
vertical farm is designed to keep plants healthy and thriving and if you are a fan of
composting, the vertical farm offers an efficient environment for concentrating and recycling
waste. Harvesting is a snap. Forget about tractors and other fuel-driven farm machinery
because vertical farm design includes ways to weed and harvest using low maintenance
machines and plenty of human labor.
4. Considerations
According to proponents of the vertical farm concept, one can launch an enterprise just about
anywhere. a typical unit can be erected, hooked up and operational in a short period of time
using prefabricated infrastructure and starter plants. Vertical farms are designed to be built
adjacent to water sources, so potential conflict over water rights for irrigation purposes
would be a non-issue. Vertical farms situated in heavily populated urban areas have the
ability to offer ultra-fresh produce on a consistent basis. Finally, energy and quality savings
resulting from vertical farms are amazing. Time-consuming shipping deadlines that can
threaten the viability of perishable goods are all but eliminated -- as are shipping costs
incurred during the importation process.
5. Potential
The world is already experiencing pockets of hunger in third world countries and the potential
for the western world to suffer the same fate is strong. With around 60% of humanity currently
concentrated in urban areas, it has become apparent that traditional farms cannot keep up with
growing demand - especially when droughts, floods and temperature extremes are capable of
doing herculean damage in a short amount of time. The problem of feeding the public in
efficient, sensible and ecologically-wise ways is at hand and few remedies are as filled with
potential as is the vertical farming industry
Present status
developers and local governments in the following cities have expressed serious interest
in establishing a vertical farm: Inchon (South Korea), Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates),
and Dongtan(China), New York city, Portland, ore., Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Seattle,
surrey, B.C., Toronto, Paris, Bangalore, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Incheon, shanghai and
Beijing. The illinois institute of technology is now crafting a detailed plan for Chicago. It
is suggested that prototype versions of vertical farms should be created first, possibly at
large universities interested in the research of vertical farms, in order to prevent failures
such as the biosphere 2 project in oracle, Arizona. in 2010, the green zionist alliance is
proposing a resolution at the 36th world zionist congress calling on keren kayemet
l'yisrael (jewish national fund in israel) to develop vertical farms in Israel.
2. Research Problems
3.1 Hypothesis
1) No specific building has been planned and designed for commercial vertical farming in
India.
2) No building utilizes optimum resources and energy for crop production.
3.2 Objectives
1) To plan and design a building suitable for vertical farming.
2) To create a network of components so that optimum resources and energy can be used
for crop production
3.
Methodology
4. Shape of building
The shape of the building should be such as to receive maximum
sunlight penetration so shapes that could receive maximum sunlight were
studied by using software which could show us path of sun throughout
the day was used.
Also the shape of the building should be symmetrical so that it would be easy to plan design and
build.
5.1 Preliminary Shapes
Preliminary shapes decided by us had an possibility of maximum sunlight penetration but

lacked behind due to feasibility of construction and economy.
5.2 Final Shape
Final shape was decided after using software called sketchup by google where we looked
for building shape which could allow maximum sunlight penetration. Firstly the building
model of elliptical shape was created and then position of sun throughout the day and its
effects on building sunlight penetration was recorded. Considering sun path i.e east to
west laying on the minor axis of the elliptical shape this shape is best suitable for
maximum sunlight penetration. Elliptical shape also has 2 axis of symmetry which will
ease building design and construction challenges.
5.3 Size of Building
Assuming plot size to be 74mx18m

Considering practical implementation the elliptical shape was little modified by adding
duct and a staircase block with dimensions stated above.
5.4 Floor plan and crop arrangement
Each floor consist of six number of beds divided by pathway for mobilization of 1.5 m so
that, not only a person can walk but also equipments required for farming could be easily
moved from place to place.
5.
Method of Cultivation
Different types of crop cultivation methods are as follows -
5.1 Soil
Providing a layer of natural soil with a mixture of manures and organic waste to
provide plants with required nutrients and support.
As stated above the max. depth of soil we have
mentioned above is 18= 0.4572m.
Considering the arranged for removal of extra water we
would provide a depth of 0.6m
This method is traditional but applicable and rational, as
technology in this cultivation and results are known.
5.2 Hydroponic
In hydroponic method the plant to be cultivated are arranged on a network of pipes and
frame for support the plant and the nutrients required for growth of plant are released in
the water. As the plant gets all the nutrients as it gets in soil it is possible for it to grow.
Also the water used in this method can be reused several times. This method
is highly water conservation friendly.
This method is highly water saving but is not applicable to all crops and is still under
research.
5.3 Aeroponic
Aeroponics is a system where roots are continuously or discontinuously kept in an environment

saturated with fine drops (a mist or aerosol) of nutrient solution. the method requires no substrate
and entails growing plants with their roots suspended in a deep air or growth chamber with the
roots periodically wetted with a fine mist of atomized nutrients. excellent aeration is the main
advantage of aeroponics.
this method is good but not applicable to all crops and high end technology is required. which
would increase the overall cost of project.
After considering all the above cultivation processes we found soil
cultivation process, the best and practicable.
Soil cultivation practices are known and practiced all over globe.
And the output of this cultivation is purely natural and obeys nature
law.

7. Irrigation System
Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation or microirrigation, is an irrigation method

which saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either
onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing,
and emitters.
Components (listed in order from water

source)
Pump or pressurized water source
Water Filter(s) - Filtration Systems:

Sand Separator like Hydro-Cyclone,
Screen filters, Media Filters
Fertigation Systems (Venturi injector)

and Chemigation Equipment
(optional)
Backwash Controller (Backflow Preventer)
Pressure Control Valve (Pressure Regulator)
Main Line (larger diameter Pipe and Pipe Fittings)
Hand-operated, electronic, or hydraulic Control Valves and Safety Valves
Smaller diameter polytube (often referred to as "laterals")
Poly fittings and Accessories (to make connections)
Emitting Devices at plants (ex. Emitter or Drippers, micro spray heads, inline drippers,
trickle rings)
Note that in Drip irrigation systems Pump and valves may be manually or automatically
operated by a controller.
Most large drip irrigation systems employ some type of filter to prevent clogging of the small
emitter flow path by small waterborne particles. New technologies are now being offered that
minimize clogging. Some residential systems are installed without additional filters since potable
water is already filtered at the water treatment plant. Virtually all drip irrigation equipment
manufacturers recommend that filters be employed and generally will not honor warranties
unless this is done. Last line filters just before the final delivery pipe are strongly recommended
in addition to any other filtration system due to fine particle settlement and accidental insertion
of particles in the intermediate lines.
Drip and subsurface drip irrigation is used almost exclusively when using recycled municipal
waste water. Regulations typically do not permit spraying water through the air that has not been
fully treated to potable water standards.
Because of the way the water is applied in a drip system, traditional surface applications of
timed-release fertilizer are sometimes ineffective, so drip systems often mix liquid fertilizer with
the irrigation water. This is called fertigation; fertigation and chemigation (application of
pesticides and other chemicals to periodically clean out the system, such as chlorine or sulfuric
acid) use chemical injectors such as diaphragm pumps, piston pumps, or venturi pumps. The
chemicals may be added constantly whenever the system is irrigating or at intervals. Fertilizer
savings of up to 95% are being reported from recent university field tests using drip fertigation
and slow water delivery as compared to timed-release and irrigation by micro spray heads.
If properly designed, installed, and managed, drip irrigation may help achieve water conservation
by reducing evaporation and deep drainage when compared to other types of irrigation such as
flood or overhead sprinklers since water can be more precisely applied to the plant roots. In
addition, drip can eliminate many diseases that are spread through water contact with the foliage.
Finally, in regions where water supplies are severely limited, there may be no actual water
savings, but rather simply an increase in production while using the same amount of water as
before. In very arid regions or on sandy soils, the preferred method is to apply the irrigation
water as slowly as possible.
Pulsed irrigation is sometimes used to decrease the amount of water delivered to the plant at any
one time, thus reducing runoff or deep percolation. Pulsed systems are typically expensive and
require extensive maintenance. Therefore, the latest efforts by emitter manufacturers are focused
toward developing new technologies that deliver irrigation water at ultra-low flow rates, i.e. less
than 1.0 liter per hour. Slow and even delivery further improves water use efficiency without
incurring the expense and complexity of pulsed delivery equipment.
Drip irrigation is used by farms, commercial greenhouses, and residential gardeners.
Drip irrigation is adopted extensively in areas of acute water scarcity and especially for crops
such as coconuts, containerized landscape trees, grapes, bananas, ber, brinjal, citrus,
strawberries, sugarcane, cotton, maize, and tomatoes.
9. Special Components
9.1 Light system Light system in this building can be classified into two main categoriesa) Sunlight system A network of reflectors and reflectors & FOC (Fiber Optic Cables ) is deployed on every floor to
utilize maximum sunlight during day time and also can be used for light during night by using
led (light emitting diode) at end of FOC.
Basically there are two types of lighting network arrangement used in the building for day light,
stated as follows :1. Network of reflectors
Network of side reflector consist of reflecting panels placed around periphery of the building and
central duct on each floor at a height 200 mm above soil bed.
At the ceiling of each floor a network of concave shaped reflectors are arranged so as to reflect
the rays received by the side reflectors to the plants.
2.Network of reflectors + FOC

Here a network of fiber optic cables is arranged as show in figures below. A bunch of fiber optic
cables is inserted in the concave reflectors at the ceiling of each floor which will transmit the
sunlight down to any floor required. Sunlight is imposed on the ends of fiber optic cables with
help of reflectors either mounted on the terrace or at the outer edge of ceiling at each floor, this
sunlight then travels through fiber optic cables to the concave reflectors and then with the help of
mirror arrangement amplifies and then received by the plants.
b) Artificial light system

Plants grow best when provided with the same spectrum of colours (violet to red) as natural
sunlight. Although some artificial lights can come close to the quality of natural light, most
produce either more or less of certain colours in the spectrum.
Grow light is an electric lamp designed to promote plant growth by emitting an
electromagnetic spectrum appropriate for photosynthesis. The emitted light spectrum is
similar to that from the sun, allowing indoor growth with outdoor conditions. Natural
daylight has a high color temperature (approx. 6000 k) and appears bluish. Through the
use of the color rendering index, it is possible to compare how much the lamp matches
the natural color of regular sunlight.
Incandescent grow lights

Incandescent grow lights have a red-yellowish tone and low color temperature (approx. 2700 k).
They are used to highlight indoor plant groupings and not as a true plant 'growing' light
(although they may be labeled as such). Incandescent growing lamps have an average life span of
750 hours. In addition, they are less energy efficient than fluorescent or high-intensity discharge
lamps, converting much of the electricity consumed into heat (rather than light).
Fluorescent grow lights
today, fluorescent lights are available in any desired color temperature in the range from 2700 k
to 6500 k. standard fluorescents are usually used for growing vegetables (as leaf lettuce, spinach,
and herbs) or for starting seedlings to get a jump start on spring plantings. Standard fluorescents
produce twice as many lumens per watt of energy consumed as incandescent and have an
average usable life span of up to 20,000 hours. This is 25 times as long as an incandescent. cool
white fluorescent lamps are sometimes used as grow lamps. These offers slightly lower
performance, a white light, and lower purchase cost.
Fluorescent tube lights are available in either cool white colours (producing light in the blue
range) or warm white colours (producing more light in the red range). Ideally, you'll want to use
one "cool" bulb and one "warm" bulb to provide the fullest, most natural spectrum of light. the
fluorescent tubes are usually rated to last anywhere from 18 months up to 4 years but lose 85%
of their intensity before they burn out. For plants that require a maximum amount of light
intensity, replace bulbs about 70 percent of the way through their rated life. If you are using
more than one light, you can alternate changing them out to maintain intensity.
LED grow lamps
Recent advancements in LEDs have allowed for the production of relatively cheap, bright, and
long lasting grow lights that emit only the wavelengths of light corresponding to chlorophyll's
absorption peaks. these lights are attractive to indoor growers since they do not consume as much
power, do not require ballasts, and produce a fraction of the heat of hid lamps. Since there is a
significant reduction in heat, time can be extended between watering cycles because the plants
transpire less under led grow lights. A caution is warned to those growing with leds not to over
water the plants.
There are four chlorophyll absorption peaks and led grow lights use four different types of leds
to hit all four peaks (two red and two blue). Early led grow lamps used hundreds of 1 or 2 watt
LEDs and were not effective replacements for hid lamps. Newer advanced led grow lamps use
automotive grade 6 watt LEDs and have shown similar results to hid lamps.
Use
Grow lights are usually used for indoor gardening, plant propagation and food production,
including indoor hydroponics and aquatic plants. Although most grow lights are used on an
industrial level, some small-scale/domestic usage of these lamps has also been found.
according to the inverse square law, the intensity of light radiating from a point source (in this
case a bulb) that reaches a surface is inversely proportional to the square of the surface's distance
from the source. so if an object is twice as far away, it receives only 1/4 the light. this is a serious
hurdle for indoor growers, and many techniques are employed to use light as efficiently as
possible. Reflectors are thus often used in the lamps to maximize light efficiency. Plants or lights
are moved as close together as possible so that they receive equal lighting and that all light
coming from the lamps wind up on the plants (rather than partly besides it). often, the distance
between lamp and plant is in the range of 24 inches (with incandescent lamps), up to 4 inches
(with other lamps as compact, large and high-output fluorescent lamps).many home gardeners
cover the walls of their grow-room with a reflective material, or alternatively, white paint to
maximize efficiency
9.2 Porous pipe network

To provide an efficient drainage system underneath the soil bed an extra arrangement of porous
pipe network is provided.
Porous pipe network consist of porous pipe laid at the inner face of building .
firstly, the slab is been given a minute gentle slope while finishing .then a layer of sand is spread
at the bottom of bed then soil is placed over it.
Due to this arrangement the unwanted extra water is collected by the porous pipes and then taken
down through the duct by pipes.
This water then can be either used to refill ground water level or can be recycled for watering
plants.
In this manner optimum use of water is possible.

water, cement and synthetic preparations like primers ,distempers and a variety of paints. this is
alkaline, similar to cement. This is available in liquid as well as powder form. the liquid grade
has a specific gravity of approx. 1.2
Application procedures
Guidelines for civil engineers & architects.
The compressive strength of cement structures remain constant up to a maximum limit of 1%
of bbr microdite w.r.t. cement and thereafter it is on the decline though the waterproofing
efficiency goes on increasing. However, when sand containing excess salt and clay are used for
concreting even if the percentage goes up slightly there wont be any appreciable change in the
strength. the various mixing proportions prescribed for different applications are based on this
principle. Hence, the procedure for the use of microdite for any application not listed in the
handbook should be decided keeping this in mind.
if there is problem of leakage in old concrete structures due to high porosity, no difference in
the compressive strength will take place though microdite of a higher percentage (even above
20%) is coated on the structure.
Preventive measures (to take care of leakage, seepage & salt problems)
New structures (during construction)
the procedures given below are of a general nature which require modification where necessary
depending upon the specific nature of the job, quality of the materials of construction and labour.
research scientist bright b. rose & the company are not liable for any loss arising out of misuse or
negligence on the part of the user.
New cement plaster
a calculated quantity of bbr microdite is mixed with the plastering mixture. the percentage of
microdite should be decided on the basis of the quality of sand.
suggested dose of microdite
bad quality of sand (sand containing excess salt and clay; especially brought from creeks etc.) :
upto 1 % of bbr microdite w.r.t. cement in the plastering mixture. sand is not be taken into
account in the calculation ( upto 500 gms per bag of cement ).
best quality of sand (sand from river bed with low salt content and clay) : it can go down upto
0.4%( i.e. per bag of cement, 200 gms. of microdite )

10.8 Staircase design

It is proposed to provide two flight for the staircase
Hence the height of each flight =3/7 =1.5
Assuming 150mm rise
No. of riser req. = 1500/150 = 10 nos.
No. of trades in each flight = no. of riser 1 = 9 nos.
Width of staircase = 1350
Let the trades of steps = 250mm
= 9x0.25 =2.25m
Effective horizontal span = 2.25 + 1.5 +1.5 +0.23/2 +0.23/2 = 5.48m
Let thickness of waist slab = 220mm

Floor finish = 0.3 kn/m
Corresponding load per m on plan
= (R+T)/T X 5.8 = 6.76
Step load = (0.15X0.25X25) X 1/0.25 = 1.875 kn/m
Live load = 3kn/m
Total load = 6.76+1.875+3=11.63 kn/m

10.10 CONLUSION
After studying vertical farming and according to components of the vertical farm
concept, we can conclude that one can launch an enterprise just about anywhere.A
typical unit can be erected, operational in a short period of time. Benefits of
vertical farming are endless.
Vertical farming is practically costlier through
financial point of view but considering the importance of restoration of ecosystems
and reclamation of environment around the world with solution of food scarcity it
is the best possible solution.
Due to time restrictions and respected academic
schedule we could do as much as we expected.
We have also drafted a autocad drawing of the building.
