We believe that vertical farming has a credible role to play in future food production and the potential to address a number of challenges faced by modern agriculture.
While this farming is still in its infancy it is likely to play an increasingly important role in the innovation of agriculture and could contribute towards the decarbonisation of the food industry.
Although it is unlikely to replace land farming on any time horizon and is likely to only be a small part of a sustainable food system we also believe vertical farming has scope for significant investment opportunities over the coming decades, if we are to transition to a sustainable food system.
