We’re thrilled to be able to share the publication of our research paper, “the role of aeroponic container farms in sustainable food systems.” The paper was published in the journal Science of the Total Environment by researchers from Brunel University London and LettUs Grow - including Jack Farmer (Chief Scientific Officer), Billy Rodgers (Growing Specialist) and Temi Odanye (Engineering Product Lead).
Read MoreIn the town of Sittingbourne, Kent, two long-standing farming families have joined forces to start a new vertical farming venture and realise their ambition to reach Net Zero by blending traditional methods with cutting-edge technology powered by solar panels. The vertically farmed produce, grown and sold under the Ro-Gro brand, will be distributed via electric vehicle into the local area.
Read MoreGreenhouses, vertical farms and container farms are all different forms of indoor farming, but together they can work to stabilise food systems, and take the pressure of of traditional farming practices rather than replace them entirely.
Read MoreVertical container farming is on the up. Continuing pressure on UK growers to diversify their crops, rewild their land and use greener growing practices means that utilising the economic and environmental benefits of vertical farming is more popular than ever.
