The UK sets out its first national food strategy

The strategy, harnessing new #technologies and #innovation, will be injecting 270 million pounds of investment into farming innovation, and describes Vertical Farming as a means of ‘leveling up food systems by maximising #growth opportunities’. That’s right, we agree!

The outcome will be that we grow and eat more of our own #food grown domestically – creating jobs across the country and growing the #economy, which in turn will in turn help to reduce pressure on prices.

Our global food systems are delicate and can be so easily damaged by knock-on effects of sudden war, and climate change, therefore, like any ecosystem, they need nurturing and protecting.
