Harvest London Secures Funds for New Vertical Farm
Vertical farming startup Harvest London has raised an unknown amount of investment from Foresight Group to build a new site near Croydon
The startup uses hydroponics, a method to grow plants without soil, in its indoor farm facilities.
ProblemAgriculture
"The UK is heavily reliant on food imports, which contributes to environmental damage and food insecurity. Consumers are increasingly demanding fresh, local produce, but traditional farming methods are often inefficient and unsustainable."
Solution
"Harvest London uses vertical farming technology to grow fresh produce indoors, reducing reliance on imports, minimizing water usage, eliminating pesticide use, and shortening delivery distances. This provides consumers with access to locally grown, high-quality food while promoting sustainability."
