Assessing the role of vertical farming on managing net-zero supply chain in Aero farms: mediating role of supply partner collaboration

Abstract

The research focused on the vertical farming practices to manage net zero supply chain and selected Aero Farms as its preferred case study. It also sought to understand the role supply partner collaboration has in this regard and thus conducted a quantitative research design to assess the relationship and association between the variables. SMARTPLS has been implemented to discern the relationship between the variables from 386 participants and observed a positive and medium strong impact between them. In conclusion; vertical farming practices using supplier partner collaboration can achieve net zero supply chain.
