The UK’s culinary scene is experiencing a green revolution as top chefs embrace vertical farming to source fresh, locally grown ingredients year-round. This innovative farming technique involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers, often using controlled environments that optimize plant growth. The result is a sustainable, efficient method of producing high-quality produce with a minimal carbon footprint.
