Vertical Future | Advanced vertical farming systems, focused on certainty and productivity

Vertical Future (“VF”) is a global controlled-environment-agriculture (“CEA”) company, that designs and deploys fully-autonomous vertical farming systems in the areas of food for human consumption, reforestation, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, and space exploration. A leader in research and development, VF has won over 12 grants over the past two years. VF is also a growing leader in thought leadership as a Global Innovator and member of the Resilience Consortium in the World Economic Forum (“WEF”) and a member of the World Green Economy Organisation (“WGEO”). With over £36 million of capital raised to date, 12 operational farms, and an increasingly global project pipeline, the VF model is a force to be reckoned with, addressing some of the most important and impactful challenges of our time.

In this instance, they use our strawberry systems for research use, building on multiple grants and broader work completed between our respective science teams over the past years. NIAB is the UK’s fastest growing crop science organisation, having trebled in size over the past decade through a strategic programme of investment, merger and acquisition. Founded in 1919, and with a longstanding international reputation for expertise in plant varieties and seeds, today NIAB’s scientific capabilities span the crop improvement pipeline; from underpinning research required to develop higher yielding more climate resilient crops through to the extensive trials data, agronomy expertise and advice needed to ensure these advances are transferred effectively onto farm. The acquisition of The Arable Group in 2009, the University of Cambridge Potato Agronomy Unit in 2014, East Malling Research in 2016 and BCPC in 2019 has broadened the range of crop expertise that now resides within our organisation. Today, NIAB is at the forefront of the application of genetics, physiology, soil science, precision agronomy and data science to improve the yield, efficiency and resilience of crop production across the arable, forage and horticulture sectors. #technology #scientist #science #research #cambridge #verticalfarming #food #water #energy #foodsecurity #resilience
