Economic justification of technological and lighting solutions for urban multi-tier plant cultivation systems

The study substantiates the economic application of technologies and lighting solutions in multi-tier systems for plant cultivation. The spectral composition of light and its impact on the productivity of leafy greens and medicinal plants have been analyzed. It has been identified that the use of LED lighting sources reduces energy consumption while increasing crop yields. The effects of automated systems for managing lighting and irrigation on the efficiency of multi-tier plant growth installations have been examined. A techno-economic justification for integrating such systems into urban environments has been presented, highlighting their role in enhancing food security. The research further explores the scalability and potential of these systems to optimize resource use and ensure the sustainable production of fresh, nutrient-rich plants in limited urban spaces.
