Join us next week for Ag101 for a one day introduction to #agriculture & the wider industry.
We'll kick start the day hearing first hand about on the ground farming from the decision making to markets both in #broadacre & #verticalfarming

What does it mean when we protect #PlantHealth?
Plant health means protecting👇
🍏Food security
👩🌾Farmers' livelihoods
🌍A healthy environment
🚛Safe trade facilitation
In 2018, the @FAOeagriculture reported that 10% of children & up to 16% of adults with children suffer from food insecurity in the UK!
Our latest blog discusses the role urban agriculture can play in assisting food security

Proud to have sponsored a group of Masters in Electronic Engineering students @imperialcollege. Under our supervision the students invented a robotic structure using machine learning and computer vision to monitor plant health and provide the necessary conditions for hydroponics.
Soil depends on the presence of a vast community of living organisms to remain healthy and fertile.
These organisms make up soil biodiversity.
Yet we are losing #SoilBiodiversity at an alarming rate 👇
When you compare the overall current best available science to their insufficient, hypothetical "climate targets" you clearly see that there’s a gap, there are decades missing.
Until we adress this gap, no real solutions will be found.
Let's call out the bullsh*t.
#MindTheGap
Celebrating #EarthDay today and the many inspiring companies working in sustainability, science, tech & agriculture to ensure that we continue to enjoy Earth Day for many years to come.
We are proud to be part of this innovative industry, proactively working to better our planet.
One fact that we don’t mention enough is that our products are literally beyond organic!
Pesticide free, GM free, Chlorine free. Our high quality plants don't require an additional washing step & are literally "ready to eat”!

Eat your greens... Imagine knowing they’d been grown in an ethical and sustainable environment. Allowing the land previously used for farming to be rewilded.
Projects such as @KneppSafaris have rewilded their 3,500-acre Estate & are reintroducing some seriously special wildlife.
A better team there never was! Our team have each been handpicked for their expertise and unparalleled knowledge of their sector. Working together to better the planet & growing the business despite the challenges we all faced last year. We're super proud to be part of team IFPH
Plants have been the basis of medicine for 1000s of years 🌱
With a booming population, there's an ever increasing demand for medicine. By growing these plants in a super clean, sustainable process, we can ensure high quality clean plants, better for everyone and the planet 🌍
With cleanliness at the forefront of everyone’s mind, we think you’ll be interested to learn that we’re developing automation processes for our indoor growing facility. Aiming to reduce human contact, while increasing food safety & efficiency of the process

Mayapple may sound like a delicious sweet treat, yet this woodland plant, while in its natural form, is quite poisonous. It’s medicinal qualities however, are quite outstanding and drum roll please… it is potentially possible to be grown hydroponically!
Exciting times at IFPH!
