Case study - Saturn Bioponics
Soace and resource-efficient food production
Saturn Bioponics, based in Birmingham, is one of the first 3D ‘vertical farming’ businesses to create a business model that can grow and sell healthy food at commercial scale. Their model is based on hydroponics, which has a higher production rate and lower environmental impact than soil farming, and gives people clarity on how their food has been produced.
It also means that land which is unsuitable for soil farming could be used to produce food – an option for brownfield land.
