New vision to help increase innovative food growing in Wales

A new vision to increase high tech food production in Wales which also has a positive impact on climate change has been launched by the Welsh Government.

The new Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) prospectus aims to see growth in the number of businesses using technology to provide sustainable systems of growing food where parameters and conditions such as water and light are tightly controlled.

CEA has a positive impact on climate change with systems developed on a circular economy model including recycled heat and nutrients, renewable energy and helping ensure minimal food waste.

This form of food growth compliments traditional agriculture and horticulture methods by producing the crops which cannot be easily grown in Wales and supplying produce all year round.
