垂直农业系统（VFS）在提高作物生产力方面具有巨大的潜力，但它是能源密集型的，因为光、温度和湿度都需要控制。在这篇综述中，我们考虑了将可再生能源纳入VFS的挑战，并强调了光谱、强度和日照长度的变化如何影响作物的质量。我们建议，从植物光生物学的见解可以用来优化能源效率在这个快速发展的部门。集约化农业对养活不断增长的人口至关重要，但需要大量的农药、化肥和水来维持生产力。缓解这些问题的一个解决方案是采用垂直农业系统（VFS）。这些设施的独立运作提供了回收农业投入的潜力，并使作物免受气候变化的影响。发光二极管（LED）照明技术的最新技术进步使VFS成为商业现实，尽管高耗电量继续玷污该行业的环保证书。在这篇综述中，我们研究了如何利用VFS固有的电力使用来实现商业和环境效益。我们建议，对植物光生物学的理解可以用来改变VFS的能量消耗，与电网的电力可用性相协调，促进能源供应的需求侧管理，提高作物产量。
Vertical farming systems (VFS) have great potential for improving crop productivity but are energy-intensive, since light, temperature, and humidity each need to be controlled. In this review, we consider the challenges of incorporating renewable energy into VFS and highlight how light spectra, intensity, and daylength can be varied to influence the quality of crops. We propose that insights from plant photobiology can be utilised to optimise energy efficiency in this rapidly evolving sector. Intensive agriculture is essential to feed increasing populations, yet requires large amounts of pesticide, fertiliser, and water to maintain productivity. One solution to mitigate these issues is the adoption of Vertical Farming Systems (VFS). The self-contained operation of these facilities offers the potential to recycle agricultural inputs, as well as sheltering crops from the effects of climate change. Recent technological advancements in light-emitting diode (LED) lighting technology have enabled VFS to become a commercial reality, although high electrical consumption continues to tarnish the environmental credentials of the industry. In this review, we examine how the inherent use of electricity by VFS can be leveraged to deliver commercial and environmental benefits. We propose that an understanding of plant photobiology can be used to vary VFS energy consumption in coordination with electrical availability from the grid, facilitating demand-side management of energy supplies and promoting crop yield.
