As opposed to the general concept that farming is viable only in rural areas where there are lands for cultivation, a farming business can also be done in urban areas. In the last 20-30 years, there has been advancement in technologies that allow people to farm without the need for a large arable land.

Some of the popular urban farming methods are:

Indoor farming

Vertical farming

Hydroponic farming

Aquaponic farming

Aeroponic farming

These farming techniques do not require soil and a lot of farming space. Installing these farming systems is comparatively expensive but once installed you can use them for a long time and continue to profit. The yield is better as there will be no issues of pests and insects.

If you have a passion for this business niche, you can try it as farming reportedly has a low failure rate (it is estimated that it has an 88 percent success rate). Food is an essential item, therefore, any business that deals with food are recession-proof, so you can try farming.
