World leaders – including President Biden and Pope Francis – could dine on ‘vertically farmed’ vegetables at the global climate change summit in Glasgow later this year, it has been revealed.
Crops of legumes grown in skyscraper-like towers are among the healthy food options awaiting delegates at the Cop26 event in the city in November.
Scottish agritech business Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) is behind the scheme to sustainably satisfy the appetites of delegates between 1 and 12 November.
Vertical farming is the practice of producing food in vertically stacked layers indoors under artificial conditions of light and temperature. With the use of total controlled-environment agriculture (TCEA) technology, all environmental factors can be controlled to optimise plant growth.
