It was an honour for Jamie Burrows our Founder & CEO to have been invited to represent Vertical Future, as well as the vertical farming and CEA sector more broadly at this year’s Farm to Fork Summit at 10 Downing Street earlier this month.
In one of four breakout sessions, Jamie commented that “public-private collaboration is key to the future of our food systems and innovative agri-tech companies such as ours can help propel the UK to reach its food security and environmental goals to not only survive, but thrive and prepare for an uncertain future.”
With adaptability and integrity at the forefront, our systems deliver robust, reliable, and resilient CEA systems allowing produce to grow in any geography, regardless of seasonality and weather conditions. The severely wet past 18 months in the UK alone is just one example of how climate change-related extreme weather conditions can have devastating effects on our domestic crop production. Our objective here at VF is to help support our food systems to overcome these challenges – one farm at a time!
Thank you to the Downing Street team for hosting such a superb day 🙌
