Contrary to traditional agriculture, soilless farming methods are used in vertical farming systems. It is possible to use a variety of solid media cultures or aquaculture for cultivation in soilless culture. In the selection of methods and materials, primary active ingredients should be economical, accessible, sustainable, easy to use and manageable, and comparisons should be made in terms of parameters such as operating costs, efficiency and quality. In systems where intensive production is made in this way, it is important to set up and operate like a factory in order to keep profitability high. Since the growth and development of plants in vertical agriculture is faster than other cultivation methods, the need to keep the time between harvest and planting short necessitates all harvesting, planting, water change and system maintenance operations to be done quickly. Various methods and system analyzes are needed in order for vertical agriculture to become widespread and sustainable. The aim of this study is to contribute to the creation of a method literature for vertical farming facilities. Within the scope of the study, curly lettuce, basil, cress, arugula, dill plants grown with shallow water culture technique and nutrient film technique, which are widely used in vertical farming facilities, were compared in terms of development status, yield and quality. In addition, vertical farming systems established with two different methods were examined in terms of water and energy needs and ease of maintenance and repair. As a result of the study, it was determined that the nutrient film technique method was superior to the shallow water culture method in terms of inputs per plant (electricity consumption, water consumption, fertilizer consumption, yield per unit area, labor requirement, installation time.
