# Multi-Level Farming Vehicles The Valtra Vertical Farming Tractor Quickly Harvests Crops By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-11-20 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-tractor References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2018/11/20/the-future-of-farming-looks-incredible/) Vertical farming will likely continue to expand alongside the population in urban areas, so the conceptual Valtra Vertical Farming Tractor has been designed as a vehicle to help with harvesting, transportation and more. The vehicle features a harvesting unit that will quickly and efficiently remove the crops from the [hydroponic system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydroponic-tower) before getting them ready for shipment. This brings a new level of efficiency to food production that could make the process far simpler as we move into the future with an increased population and space constraints in urban areas. The conceptual Valtra Vertical Farming Tractor is the design work of Jack Donald Morris, Alireza Saeeidi and Benjamin Miller, and also features a [drone logistics system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agricultural-drone-technology) to expedite the operation of the facility. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vertical Farming Expansion:** The Valtra Vertical Farming Tractor exemplifies a trend of expanding efficiency and innovation within the growing vertical farming industry. - **Hydroponic System Harvesting:** The Valtra Vertical Farming Tractor showcases a trend of combining hydroponic systems with harvesting vehicles for maximum crop output. - **Drone Logistics Integration:** The Valtra Vertical Farming Tractor represents a trend of utilizing drone logistics systems to further automate and streamline the harvesting process. ### Where This Applies - **Agriculture:** The Valtra Vertical Farming Tractor has disruptive innovation opportunities within the agriculture industry by increasing efficiency, reducing labor costs, and maximizing crop yields. - **Logistics:** The Valtra Vertical Farming Tractor features a drone logistics system that can inspire innovation within the logistics industry by streamlining freight transport and movement. - **Manufacturing:** The Valtra Vertical Farming Tractor utilizes hydroponic systems and robotics, demonstrating innovation opportunities for manufacturing companies interested in sustainable production methods and automation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Multipurpose Farming Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-farming-vehicle.md) - [Vineyard-Tending Tractors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tractor-concept.md) - [Powerful Hybrid Wheeled Tractors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highcapacity-agricultural-vehicle.md) - [Versatile Agriculture Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agriculture-robot.md) - [Greenhouse-Roving Agricultural Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greenhouseroving-agricultural-robot.md) - [Autonomous Farm Support Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agricultural-vehicle.md) - [Dual-Rotor Agricultural Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualrotor-agricultural-drone.md) - [Fully Autonomous Tractors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-tractor.md) - [Tech Brand Tractor Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-tractor-pro.md)
