Xuemeng Lai joins us this week as a Vertical Farming Plant Scientist!

Xuemeng Lai joins us this week as a Vertical Farming Plant Scientist. She will be working with Vertical Future in partnership with The University of Essex to undertake a transformational Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project by delivering a systematic survey of the interaction between #light spectra and plant productivity.

Xuemeng just finished her MSc in Plant Science, specialising in Greenhouse Horticulture, where she gained extensive knowledge on plant physiology, controlled environment plant production and plant-climate research.
 
As a person enthusiastic about sustainable agriculture, Xuemeng believes vertical farming is one of the best solutions to some of the great challenges we are facing today.
 
Outside of work, Xuemeng enjoys spending a lot of her time cooking and also sitting down to watch a movie, which is her ideal way to spend a day.
