Eider Vertical Farming is reimagining farming, creating perfect environments for plants to thrive. We produce fresh, nutritious and affordable food which is consistently tasty, locally grown and pesticide-free. Our vertical farms can supply wholesalers with a consistent, high-quality source of supply 365 days a year. Because vertical farms eliminate seasonality, they also create stable market pricing, which is good for both farmers and consumers.
EVF grows its crops inside using an advanced form of hydroponics, the most established of the vertical farming technologies. Instead of being planted in soil, crops are plugged into a system of nutrient-rich water and kept at the optimal temperature, under specially designed lighting. Vertical farming produces far greater crop yields than conventional farming methods without a large environmental footprint. Vertical Farming uses 95% less freshwater than conventional cultivation.
EVF believes vertical farming will be part of a solution which re-engineers the agricultural system. Our approach is addressing concerns about food security, safety and sustainability, supporting a green recovery, protecting the UK’s farming economy and its environment, and meeting growing demand for more British food. Nurturing plants with exactly what they need means faster growth, bigger harvests, and tastier, higher quality produce.
