Into the future
- Future of FoodWill we one day grow meat in labs and salad in skyscrapers?
- Farming and food productionOur diverse food and farming research ranges from studying the make-up of our crops and animals to the methods and food processing technologies we develop to produce healthier, safer and more sustainable food.
- Smart micro growth chambers to drive indoor farming revolution...while a number of indoor farms are now operating commercially, at the moment the range of crops produced is limited and there are many questions about the environmental footprint and the best agronomic conditions (light spectrum and intensity, temperature, nutrition, etc.) for different crops.
