Agriculture: Research
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department has commissioned research into the scalability of vertical farming practices.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
The Government recognises that vertical farming (as part of Controlled Environment Horticulture) is a highly productive and valuable component of our wider agricultural system. As part of our mission-driven government, we are now considering how we can achieve our ambitious, measurable and long-term goals for all our farming sectors, including horticulture.
