Data has become a transformative force in indoor vertical farming in the digital age. This technology-driven approach uses real-time data and advanced technologies like IoT, cloud computing, and AI to optimize farming processes. Machine learning enables predictive analytics, forecasting future conditions and enhancing decision-making.

However, as with all digital industries, indoor vertical farming faces cybersecurity threats. Data leaks, theft, and system paralyzes can result in significant financial and reputational damage. Therefore, as we embrace the benefits of this digital revolution in agriculture, addressing the associated cyber vulnerabilities is crucial.
