We can’t help but shout about our incredible team and today is no exception! 🎉 Our brilliant Research Manager, Dr Rixta Sievers, took the stage at the Zenith Global Ltd World Congress of Vertical Farming this week! 🌱✨ Rixta spoke on the intricacies of conducting research & development in a commercial setting. One of the big takeaways? Collaboration across industries is key to unlocking the full potential of vertical farming—a point echoed by many experts.

A big shout out 📢 and thank you to NIAB and Ben Tea for hosting and organising the CEUG (Controlled Environment User Group) meeting this week! It was a pleasure to present on the #verticalfarming work I’ve been doing at GrowUp Farms, to identify substrate alternatives that further improve the efficiency and sustainability of VF salad production. 🌱 Special mention to the other quality talks from Boris Breiner (Lambda agri), Sylvie Verinder MCIWM (Tumblebug Ltd) and Alberto Campanaro (Zayndu Ltd). And I appreciated having a commercial horticulture perspective with the morning panel on #peatfree alternatives with Jack Haslam (Fargro Limited), Samuel Rivers (ICL Group), and Victoria Wright (Melcourt Industries Limited). On day 2, we had the opportunity to see NIAB’s facilities, from glasshouses to vertical farm (thanks for the tour Katia Kouloumprouka Zacharaki!) Thanks to all those who attended! Lovely to finally meet some familiar faces in person. #CEA #innovation
