New ways of producing foods
Vertical farming is a type of indoor agriculture where crops are cultivated in stacked systems with water, lighting and nutrient sources carefully controlled.
With their soil-free, computer-controlled environments, it may sound like sci-fi, but there is a growing environmental and economic case for them – including fewer food miles, reduction in soil degradation and nutrient and water recapturing and recycling.
Nanoco Group PLC (LON:NANO) leads the world in the research, development and large-scale manufacture of heavy metal-free nanomaterials for use in displays, lighting, vertical farming, solar energy and bio-imaging.
