Who our vertical farming technology helps

Propagators

Our vertical farming technology provides a complete climate controlled growing environment, allowing propagator and nursery growers to improve propagule and starter plant consistency to deliver improved yields.

Large growers

Increase the reliability of starter plants and reduce the waste associated with plant variation by using our vertical farms to grow your own starter plants and propagules.

Pharmaceuticals

Our Growth Towers provide a bio secure environment, capable of growing a range of crops which can be optimised for compound density and speed of growth in an environment free from pesticides.

Entrepeneurs

Our Vertical farms are optimised to grow a range of seed to harvest crops. Our integrated technology is managed via a single source and the modularity of our solutions means its ready to scale when you are.

Vertical farming solutions

How our vertical farming solutions help

To meet increasing food demands from a growing population while lessening the impact on the environment, growers are facing rising expectations to improve quality and improve sustainability, all in the face of climate change and increasing fuel costs. If this wasn’t enough, farmers are facing inflation, climate change, and a decreasing rural population, posing challenges for the future of agriculture.

The solution? Vertical farming.

Seed to harvest growers

Our Growth Towers are a powerful, smart system built for any environment, anywhere in the world. But what benefits do you gain over traditional methods?

Propagators

Vertical farming provides a climate-secure growing environment, which allows you to improve propagule and seedling consistency.

Food’s supply chain is broken – but home-grown Agri-tech can fix it

Our food supply chain is broken. The reasons for it are complex, but put simply, the UK is exposed to several risk factors that can – and now have – combined to produce acute shortages on our shelves. Something needs to change urgently; and technology may – at least in part – have the answer.

Sustainable agriculture: is vertical farming the answer?

Sustainable farming isn't just about maximising profits; it also focuses on the thoughtful and effective use of non-renewable resources throughout the farming process. By prioritising sustainability, farmers can produce nutritious, healthy food while improving their own standard of living and reducing their impacts on climate change. ‍
