Abstract: A system and method for using indoor vertical farming for cultivating tubers. The method and system include a wheeled framework with tiered platforms, the platforms forming multiple growing spaces for growing portions of a tuber crop and soil where the growing spaces are provided with irrigation and illumination. Each growing space has a paneled wheeled planter tray which rests on a platform and each portion of the tuber crop and soil can be extracted from each paneled wheeled planter tray by a lifting action to fall into a mesh covered container, used to separate the soil from the tuber crop.
