Our recent article in @evening.standard along with Our recent article in @evening.standard along with @davidattenborough A Life on Our Planet described the urgent need for vertical farms like ours to save our planet. Article credit @beccaspearecole Repost @beccaspearecole 🌱🌿🍃 This old WW2 air raid shelter - 33m below the streets of Clapham - is home to a huge underground farm. I spoke to Growing Underground’s COO Richard Ballard about the farm’s plans for expansion and its corresponding push for investors for the Evening Standard. If you’ve watched David Attenborough’s A Life On Our Planet, you’ll know how critical it is to change our agricultural practices. Farms like GU, which uses LEDs, hydroponics, data analytics, 100% renewable energy and zero pesticides and minimal space, are crucial for the future. The farm is now itself at a critical point in terms of growth and it must expand to new sites to become a profitable business. Richard said: “We only need a small space within the current infrastructure of a building to grow produce.” He said: “This is a really good time to be looking at alternative sustainable agriculture methods to take us into the middle of this century. This probably going to be one of the most disruptive things to happen to agriculture since the Agricultural Revolution itself.” Full story link in bio 💚💚💚 @evening.standard @growing_underground @davidattenborough . . . . . #climatechange #eveningstandard #journalism #foodsecurity #growingunderground #GU #undergroundfarm #hydroponics #hydroponicfarming #agriculture #sustainableliving #sustainablefarm #healthyfood #microherbs #microgreens #verticalfarming #healthysalad #nutrition #naturesmedicine #foodwaste #foodies #sustainability #plantpower #teamwork #undergroundlondon #futurefood #futurecities #agritech #antioxidants #antiviral

Richard is a sustainable change-maker advocating innovation for a more accessible and fairer food system. This entrepreneur co-founded Zero Carbon Food in 2012 after university research on future cities led him to redundant urban spaces. The first brand of which is Growing Underground, a controlled environment urban farm producing micro herbs 30m under London in disused WW2 tunnels, which now supplies major U.K. retailers. Richards intuitive, innovative approach allows the ability to cast new eyes to age-old problems for a more sustainable future.
