Research And Development

The vertical farming sector is constantly evolving. Continuous research and development at our 10,000 square foot facility ensures we stay ahead of the curve – and so do our clients.

Conventional farming is a major contributor to climate change. Growing food in fields degrades the soil, generates carbon emissions and requires large amounts of water, fertilisers and pesticides. But there is another way.

Vertical farming and CEA technologies can reduce carbon emissions by 92% and water usage by 98%. Crops can be grown up to 5 times faster and are completely protected from seasonal or unpredictable weather, pests and diseases. That means there’s no need for harsh chemicals and no wastage. Food grown indoors is also tastier, healthier and has a longer shelf life.

Advice from the experts

IAG is one of the only vertical farming companies in the country to be both Red Tractor and Global G.A.P. accredited.

Red Tractor is the flagship logo of British food and farming and guarantees that food and drink has been certified to rigorous standards at every stage of the production process. It is used by almost all the major food retailers in the UK as a mark of quality for their suppliers. The Global G.A.P scheme is its international equivalent.

Whether you’re looking to enhance the scale and value of an existing business or considering setting up a brand new vertical farm, we can offer our expertise, advice and IP to help you flourish.

Our accreditations mean that we can help our clients themselves become Red Tractor or Global G.A.P. accredited, allowing them to establish commercial growing operations selling produce into supermarkets and other big retailers at significant volumes.
