In August 2025, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) published a technical document entitled Modern indoor farming and food safety – A review of hazards, controls and regulatory consideration. Indoor farming, from greenhouses to vertical farms and hydroponic systems, is gaining attention as a way to grow fresh food closer to consumers, year-round, and with fewer environmental pressures. But does farming indoors truly make food safer? And what challenges remain? This factsheet unpacks what indoor farming entails, what benefits it brings, and what risks need to be managed.
