Vertical Future’s Chief Scientific Officer Dr Jennifer Bromley spoke on BBC‘s “Farming Today” about the company’s grant win announced this week from the UK Space Agency international Bilateral Fund and Australian Space Agency.
The grant that has been awarded is to develop an autonomous environmental agriculture facility in space alongside the University of Cambridge.
In the episode, you’ll hear Jen discuss VF’s work as part of an international consortium focused on astronaut nutrition, opportunities for biopharmaceuticals, and plants that you can produce biomaterials from. She also talks about our work here on Earth and how the findings from the work in space can be used to inform work back on Earth!
