With no need for pesticides , herbicides or fungicides , and minimal human interaction , Vertical Future offers a product that goes beyond organic . Vertical farming – when implemented correctly – uses far less of the planet ’ s resources and significantly less water , while producing much closer to the point of consumption . Founder and CEO Jamie Burrows says : ‘ Hundreds of seeds of micro broccoli have the same footprint as one seed for a full head of broccoli but if you harvest broccoli at 10 to 15 days maturity , it has 40 times more vitamin K and far higher levels of sulforaphane .’. Vertical farming operations use derelict urban and rural spaces , distributing food on a hyper-local basis , lowering transportation times and slashing emissions to solve many of the problems associated with food miles .
In Jamie ’ s words : “ We have launched an advanced , intelligent , end-to-end system providing superior tasting and better crops for the future – for both food and pharmaceutical production – at an affordable price-point . Exploitation of land , loss of biodiversity , and overuse of the earth ’ s natural resources are damaging to our environment and vertical farming offers one long-term solution . We take vertical farming a giant leap further , adopting a holistic approach by offering fully automated and intelligent systems that offer endless possibilities .”
Vertical Future ’ s production system is one of the most advanced in the world – and with over 100 pipeline projects across four continents currently under
discussion , several already underway in various geographies , and an exciting research and development programme , this is the next exciting step in Vertical Future ’ s journey to improve the longterm health of the planet and its inhabitants – one leaf at a time .
