Food production is a big issue – how to produce enough, sustainably, to feed a growing population. From climate change to poor food quality, there’s a pressing need to change our eating habits and improve our health. As an industry, the food system in London alone is the single biggest contributor of CO2 emissions.
Growing food in controlled conditions allows Vertical Future to grow in a precise and efficient way, producing high-quality food: beautiful baby leaf vegetables and herbs with no pesticides whatsoever.
Vertical Future has applied its ethics to the supply system too. Sites are located close to customers, so ultra-fresh produce is picked and delivered on-demand by bike.
