Are vertical farming and hydroponic farming same?

No, vertical farming and hydroponic farming are not the same.

Vertical farming is a method of producing crops indoors, which is especially useful in urban locations with little land.

Hydroponic farming involves growing crops in nutrient-rich water solutions without soil such as glasshouses, indoor facilities, and roofs.

Vertical farming can be done with either soil or hydroponics, and hydroponic farming can be done vertically or horizontally.

Vertical & hydroponic farming both have the potential to deliver high crop yields in a sustainable manner, aid in reducing environmental impact.
