To ensure long-term food and water security, we must invest in the right mix of traditional farming, vertical farming, high-and-low-tech glasshouses, and other solutions. By embracing innovation and collaboration, we can build a stronger, more sustainable global food system.

The challenges we face ๐Ÿšจ
๐Ÿ“‰ Unstable crop yields
๐Ÿ’ฐ Low farmer returns
๐ŸŒŠ Climate change, extreme weather, and increasing variability
๐Ÿ“ฆ Heavy reliance on imports

Despite a number of high-profile failures in the sector, Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and vertical farming technologies are advancing rapidly, offering resilient, high-yield, safe solutions that are independent of weather conditions, use significantly less water, and reduce reliance on imports.

How vertical farming can help ๐Ÿ™Œ
๐ŸŒฑ Year-round, climate-resilient food production
๐Ÿ’ง Up to 95% less water usage, depending on crop
๐Ÿ™๏ธ Fewer food miles
๐Ÿ” Data-driven crop optimisation, leading to better growing algorithms
๐Ÿฅ— Healthier food through not using pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides
๐Ÿ—๏ธ Long-term, dependable infrastructure, hedging against climate change
๐Ÿš€ Increasingly more viable use cases beyond food
๐Ÿ”— Integration with other forms of agriculture to maximise efficiency and output

What are your thoughts? How do we accelerate the adoption of climate-resilient agriculture?
