Abstract
In the last ten years, the world population has increased from 6.94 billion to 8.06 billion people. As the world population grows, the primary needs of the entire community also grow: finding drinking water and food. For this reason, in recent years, there has been a focus on the exploration of technological advancements aimed at enabling larger yields of agricultural products within limited spaces. This led to the emergence of soilless agriculture, a method involving the cultivation of crops without conventional soil and instead utilizing a tailored nutritional solution and automated processes to provide water and essential nutrients for each specific crop.
This thesis therefore aims to analyze, through the Life Cycle Assessment methodology, the impacts of the life cycle of lettuce grown in a Vertical Farm with an aeroponic system
