Strawberries all year round: The potential of vertical farming

Vertical farming company 26 Seasons is one of just a handful of companies worldwide that has successfully grown strawberries year-round, in an indoor vertical farm. An industrial site in Foxton houses vertically stacked beds, with optimal conditions set for growing strawberries 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. The controlled indoor environment removes external factors that can affect growth such as weather, seasons, pests and disease. Kathryn speaks with Grant Leach, the chief executive of 26 Seasons.
