This British Food Fortnight, we are shining a spotlight on locally grown produce and the benefits it brings to both people and planet.    When it comes to fresh produce, our country has historically relied on imports for out-of-season crops. But as climate change wreaks havoc on European harvests, there has never been a greater need to safeguard our nation’s food security whilst reducing our carbon footprint, and source our produce closer to home.    Vertical farming makes this possible. Here at Fischer Farms, we are growing ethical, edible plants that are good for people, planet and palates. Our delicious fresh produce is grown right here in the UK, 365-days-a-year, giving us better food security, better food consistency and better food quality.   To find out more about the Fischer Farms way, visit: https://fischerfarms.co.uk   #BritishFoodFortnight #verticalfarming #BritishGrown #LocalProduce #UKFoodCulture #CelebrateBritishFood

Our next-generation vertical farms offer a scalable solution with the capability to operate 365 days a year using only sustainable energy sources and providing yields 250 times greater than conventional farming.  #verticalfarming #agritech #sustainablefarming

Did you catch us on BBC Breakfast yesterday talking about the benefits of vertical farming? It was great to be able to showcase our chive production at our Norwich facility. Nearly 10 million kilos of chives are imported into the UK each year. Vertical farming gives customers access to high-quality produce, grown in a climate-controlled environment, all year round, slashing food miles and reducing reliance on overseas imports from countries as far away as Kenya. What’s more, vertical farms use a fraction of the land required for field grown crops and our closed loop irrigation system means our operations also uses less water. #verticalfarming #bbcnews #agritech #sustainablefarming https://lnkd.in/dHUi3u9D
