GrowUp Farms - have come together to create a sustainable, climate-proof environment for growing in the UK.

the plants to help growers improve their climate strategy and give the plants exactly what they need to deliver higher yields with fewer resources.

partnership with the The Advanced Plant Centre, hosted at the James Hutton Institute, and Intelligent Growth Solutions.

crop research centre, to demonstrate how chlorophyll fluorescence measurements can be used to optimise lighting strategies in strawberry production. Read Full Case study here:

plant driven growing - driving greenhouse management decisions based on direct measurements of plant physiology.

... transforming the way we approach complex problems. To gain deeper insights into the current state and future prospects of AI, Molten hosted a panel earlier this month featuring three experts in the field, handpicked from our portfolio.

... the system provides growers with insights into plant health that can easily be actioned, improving yields and quality, and lowering costs. We caught up with Fabrizio Ticchiarelli, Lead Biologist at Gardin, ahead of the show to ask about recent developments."

"We look forward to bringing our solution to growers across the US and learning from the fantastic knowledge this program has to offer. (Julian Godding, Lead Data Scientist at Gardin)"

"Although his business model is heavily tech-based, it started with two premises: first, why isn't there a way of measuring the nutritional value of crops, destined for food products, as they grow? And second..."

"Here are the companies considered by our judges for their clever use of technology — and the 10 they chose as winners..."

"I developed a personal interest in food production primarily born of the question – 'why is it that all the fresh produce I buy looks great but really lacks in quality?'..."

"Since Gardin first spoke in the REAP 2021 Start-Up Showcase, it has been successful in raising $10.8M to develop a plant stress detector, and it is returning to REAP as an exhibitor this year to discuss progress. Fabrizio explains how..."

"The renewed focus on sustainability and environmental challenges spurs many efforts towards using digital strategies for crop production. Nowadays people are more demanding when it comes to product origin, mileage and input usage. As a result, there is a real drive from consumers to..."

"Vertical farming - growing plants indoors, on stacked levels, in a highly controlled environment - allows higher yields. And now, the Gardin company hopes to further improve productivity, using sensors and artificial intelligence to assess..."

"Click looks at agriculture and the technology that might be helping to make it more sustainable, featuring AI-powered imaging sensors that can..."

Investors pumped $10.8 billion into AI startups in Europe last year, according to PitchBook...

Previously, we published a deep dive on the future of sustainability and highlighted some of our portfolio companies spearheading the way. On the back of this, we spoke with six of our founders ...

"London-headquartered agtech firm Gardin has raised $10.8 million in a seed funding round. The company combines machine learning methods and remote optical sensors to provide growers with detailed data about the health of individual plants, all without the need to manually assess or conduct destructive chemical analyses. The funding will be used to ..."

"The idea for agritech startup Gardin came to physicist Sumanta Talukdar in summer of 2019, after consuming a very bad batch of Tesco tomatoes. "They looked great. Nice, round, perfect shape – very, very red," he says. "But when you ate them, they tasted of nothing.""

"The emergence of new technologies, including mobile app-based services, is transforming the way that the food industry operates, and giving rise to a new digital industry, known as foodtech. Innovations that meet growing consumer demands for convenience, product freshness and environmental sustainability are set to define the future of this sector."

... have woven their way into how startups and established companies operate. These frameworks, guiding as vehicles of change, impact how organisations build business models, implement technology, establish crucial frameworks, shape branding, and conduct their day-to-day governance.

"We are excited to announce a new cohort of 32 UK climate tech and cleantech companies selected for our second Net Zero programme."

"Snap has agreed to acquire WaveOptics, the supplier of the augmented reality displays that power its new Spectacles glasses, for more than $500 million, The Verge has learned. The deal is..."

"Gardin, a 'deep tech' hardware and software startup developing optical phenotyping technology and analytics to optimise food production, has raised $1.2 million in pre-seed funding."

"The world currently faces a global supply-demand imbalance with regards to food production. As the global population continues to rise, with expectations of reaching 9.7 billion by 2050, approximately 70% more food will be..."
