Jamie Burrows, founder and CEO of Vertical Future, discusses the many ways vertical farming can be used to address agricultural and environmental challenges, why space presents an exciting opportunity for farming and why VC funding isn't for everyone.
Burrows founded Vertical Future in 2016. The company develops the technology to build automated vertical farms wherein robots tend to the needs of stacked crops in enclosed spaces. It has deployed eight farms across the UK and has projects in development overseas. Vertical Future has raised over £30m across grants and family office investments. The company is also working on a project to grow medicinal and material ingredients in orbit, with plans down the line to explore vertical farming on the Moon and Mars.
