Vertical farming and urban agriculture have emerged as innovative solutions to address the challenges of food production, sustainability, and urbanization. These practices involve growing crops indoors in tall structures with multiple layers, using water-based solutions instead of soil, and controlling various factors to create an optimal growing environment. In this analysis, we will examine the social effects of vertical farming and urban agriculture, considering their advantages and disadvantages across dimensions such as community resilience, environmental sustainability, resource conservation, and food security. These topics are highly relevant to engineering ethics as engineers must consider the broader social implications of their work and address ethical issues related to these technologies
