Cover Story: With the global population rising and farmland availability declining, vertical farming is emerging as a key strategy for sustainable urban food production. This study presents the Adaptive Vertical Farm (AVF), featuring movable shelves that adjust to plant growth stages. Large-scale simulations reveal that the AVF can increase the cultivable area by over 400% within the same footprint and can reduce energy use for climate control by 22% compared with conventional systems. The AVF demonstrates a promising path toward more efficient, productive, and sustainable urban agriculture. View this paper
