Autonomous growing systems in the UK have attracted funding from the Government’s Transforming Food Production programme and tens of millions are being invested in a new training and demonstration facility but can CEA help drive social change?
Hydroponics company Phytoponics has just completed a £500,000 equity financing round. The company specialises in Deep Water Culture systems, where plant growing modules are kept oxygenated by built in aerators and serviced by a computerised nutrient control system. A major produce grower, Edward Baarda Limited, has become the first commercial grower in the UK to deploy Phytoponics technology at scale.
Phytoponics, developer of hydroponic deep-water culture technology for sustainable agriculture has secured £300,000 in new funding
