Rob Bradburne, Chief Scientist at the Environment Agency, will be opening as the keynote speaker at the NatureTech Conference on 28th April
With the Environmental Improvement Plan 2025 published at the end of last year, it’s a timely moment to hear the Agency’s thinking first hand - and to respond with your own reflections from the field, lab or workshop.

Urban farming under Clapham

Agri-TechE

If you missed Daniel Cross, Managing Director of G’s Fresh Salads, at our ‘Undercover Agents’ Pollinator talking about their involvement in the unique ‘Growing Underground’ farm in Clapham then you may be interested to see the film.

Sitting thirty-three meters underneath the busy streets of Clapham, a disused air raid shelter from the Second World War is currently producing sustainable and fresh produce, thanks to a new initiative called Growing Underground. These forgotten tunnels provide a pest-free, climate-controlled environment that is close to point of need.

The Growing Underground team were the stars of a video produced by Microsoft which offers the chance to see some of their facilities and hear about their aims.
