High tech sustainable agriculture

Client:
University of Salford

Category:
Economic, Environment

Project timeline:
1 month

Commissioned by University of Salford as food sector specialists on a report for Manchester City Council on High Tech Sustainable Food Growing Options for the city. FoodSync provided expertise on how high-tech food growing can fit with wider industrial goals. This work aimed to explore the links between the food and drink industry and high tech food growing options in Manchester. It seeks to convey the scale of the industry operations, the opportunity, mechanisms of engagement and key messaging and links to key bodies that may have a shared interest in this space. The food system is highly complex which is a challenge but also presents a unique opportunity to look at innovative ways to attract investment and deliver growth to the region’s economy.

AT A GLANCE

52% amount of food consumed in the UK, produced in the UK
60% more food needed to feed the world's growing population by 2050
70% of water fit for human consumption is needed for irrigation alone
