COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Developers are transforming a windowless industrial hall outside Copenhagen into what will be Europe's largest vertical farm with lettuce, herbs and kale grown from 14-storeys of scaffolding reaching from floor to ceiling.
The farming system is intended to use less space than traditional cultivation and will use a purple-hued LED light on the plants to replicate sunlight.
