Impact investing is today’s buzz title. The requirements of impact investing include:
· Sustainability
· Taking into account ecological, social and business ethics.
· Making a real change and be positive.
All with the overarching necessity to make a real difference with such an investment!
Our solution is in the form of advanced closed environment agriculture!
Many will have heard of it and most do not realise that there are very different levels of sophistication in this business.
V&H farming and closed environment agriculture provides significant advantages:
1. Food self sufficiency
2. Available all year round
3. Eco friendly on multiple levels:
a. Reduced water consumption
b. Reduced energy consumption
c. No pesticides
d. Decreased or no food miles
e. No soil impoverishment
f. Avoids deforestation and other fauna and habitat destruction
4. Increased freshness of produce
a. Increased speed of delivery to consumer
b. Retention of nutritious value
c. Retention of vitamin and mineral benefits
5. Diversification of produce including micro greens, berries, animal feed, fish farming and feed for bio energy
6. Increased productivity per square foot/meter
a. A typical grow module with 1sqm footprint delivers over 5sqm of self-contained growing area with multiple harvests a year.
b. With up to 30 crop cycles per year, 1sqm becomes 150 sqm of high nutrition food production.
7. Ability to cater for local health issues with immediate side benefits such as
a. Decrease burden and costs for the health service
8. Job creation
9. Intellectual creation.
10. Creation of seed banks that are contamination and pesticide free
11. Cross connection with other similar centres
12. Scalable
This goes beyond food production:
?THIS IS THE FUTURE FOR FOOD AND FOOD SUPPLY.
This is impact investment at its best and as a result, we have established a relationship with one of the leading technology providers of Vertical & Horizontal farming in the UK,
Digital Farming Ltd.
We look forward to growing this section of our business.
