One of our excellent Research Scientists, Keiri Winnie Swann, attended the UK’s International Soft Fruit Conference on January 9th-10th, where she shared insights on our CEA strawberry propagation work, stayed up-to-date with industry trends, and built valuable connections.
Why It Matters:
As the project lead on a Defra-funded research project through Innovate UK, we’re optimising the propagation environment of strawberry plants in indoor vertical farms to maximise yield and reduce the UK’s reliance on imported produce. This scalable model has global potential.
We’re proud to partner with Niab and other industry leaders on this project, advancing sustainable practices in soft fruit production.
