With the global population expected to rise to 10 billion people by 2050, the world needs to grow more food using fewer resources that are being eroded away by climate change.
Jones Food Company's pioneering approach to vertical farming can help solve this problem by growing vast amounts of nutritious, local food, all-year round in Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA).
Jones Food Company designs, builds and operates world-scale vertical farms, leading the next generation of UK agriculture by growing the highest quality fresh produce locally, sustainably and affordably.
Jones Food Company (JFC) builds indoor hydroponic farms, growing fresh produce in a completely controlled internal environment on layers stacked from floor to ceiling.
Vertical farms allow us to grow a huge amount of food using a very small amount of space to grow local food all year round..
Our systems allows us to control the exact conditions we give our plants including; temperature, humidity, nutrient mix and water quality. This produces the highest quality crops.
Vertical farms have the potential to grow almost any type fresh food, we've started with herbs and leafy greens.
At Jones Food Company (JFC) we provide the full vertical farming package: we build our farms, we operate our farms and sell the produce we grow to customers all over the country.
We have a unique position in the market due to the scale of our farms, our expertise between our world-class team and partners as well as our track record and experience within the industry.
Growing on stacked layers increases the amount of food that can be grown per m2 by up to 100x.
Our first farm in Scunthorpe has 17x layers, the most of any farm in Europe.
Our state of the art lighting technology, in partnership GE Current gives our plants the precise light spectra they require for growth.
This improves yield, taste and quality.
We have built and installed our unique water system which allows us to re-use each litre of water up to 30x.
In total this reduces our water usage by 90% compared to an outdoor farm.
Bringing growth indoors removes the need for using dangerous chemical pesticides and herbicides.
Our farms are ultra high-care facilities.
