Vertical farming #RAZOR
Razor • 12m
Vertical farming is a 21st-century phenomenon: a high-density application of new technologies in controlled-climate conditions, usually indoors. 🌾

RAZOR's Frankie McCamley visits Vertical Future, a London-based operation which has been running a vertical farm since mid-2017, growing fresh produce for local restaurants. By refining and improving systems, Vertical Future has redesigned many elements of these vertical farms with the plan to sell hardware and software to future farmers across the world. 🌍
