Vertical Future: research on cutting agrichemical use

Vertical Future has successfully completed research to develop a new way to deliver sustainable fresh produce with zero agrichemical inputs.

Vertical Future – the fastest-growing UK-based next-generation vertical farming technology business, has successfully completed research to develop a new way to deliver sustainable fresh produce with zero agrichemical inputs.

The Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Heirloom Optimisation & Pathogen Control for Seeds (CHOPS) was led by Vertical Future alongside NIAB and Zayndu Ltd. The research was funded by Innovate UK.

The project focused on reducing the pathogen contamination of seeds used in CEA and optimising the resulting yields. Successful completion of the research ensures that crops become more affordable and better quality through increased efficiencies and decreased losses, as well as boosting exports of UK-made CEA equipment.
