COP29 is well underway as delegates discuss Food, Water and Agriculture.

Discussions will centre around the increasing threat to food security as global warming disrupts our access to vital natural resources like water.

It’s no secret that traditional agriculture consumes, wastes and pollutes our water supplies. But climate change is adding even more stress to our already strained water systems, with a steady depletion of both surface water and aquifers. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly growing population, the need to find less water intensive ways of feeding the world has never been more important.

Vertical farming can be part of this solution, using significantly less water than industrial farming, without the use of chemicals. And at Fischer Farms, our closed-loop system means water waste is minimised. In this way, we can preserve one of the world’s most precious natural resources, whilst still delivering much-needed fresh produce to feed the nation.

We hope COP29 discussions consider vertical farming as a viable solution to one of the most pressing issues facing food production.
