The ongoing war and disruptions in supply chains has made indoor farming of grains highly attractive. Until recently, indoor farms have only grown leafy vegetables with only limited amount grains. But indoor grown wheat would be a game changer, as anticipated by many specialists, as it would increase wheat’s overall availability, and less of the world’s wheat supply would depend on harmonious geopolitical relations. Leading vertical farming company Infarm and co-host of the Food Systems Pavilion atCOP 27 has successfully produced wheat in an indoor farm, using no soil, no chemical pesticides and much less water compared to open field farming. Infarm is the first vertical farming company to tackle staple crop production in a controlled environment. This pioneering, high-yield success marks a significant milestone towards climate-resilient agriculture and food security.
