Farmers in Zhejiang Province have designed 'smart' vertical farms which allow vegetables to be grown without much soil or sunlight. Plants are provided with nutrient solutions through an intelligent control system. A shorter growing season and a ban on pesticides also make smart farms more environmentally friendly.
