Fantastic to support our investors, Gresham House, last week with a behind the scenes tour of our R&D vertical farm in Lichfield 🍃
Vertical farm site visit 🌱 We were pleased to welcome a group of clients and prospective clients to tour Fischer Farms Ltd vertical farming facility in Staffordshire, a portfolio company in our sustainable infrastructure strategy. Vertical farming delivers a number of efficiencies and benefits: 💧 Reduced water use - Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than required by field-grown crops 🧪 No pesticides - there is no chemical run-off which causes damage to the natural environment 🌦️ Weather resistant/food security - Indoor farming enables the production of more consistently yielding and homogeneous crops that are not affected by volatile weather patterns exacerbated by climate change. There was also an opportunity to try the produce which included chives, parsley, watercress and sorrel 🥬 #thefutureoffood #sustainableinfrastructure
