Question

What bodies has the Minister met with in the last 12 months regarding vertical farming in Wales?

Answer

Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd

I opened the Tech Tyfu vertical farming innovation hub M-Sparc, in Menai Science Parc, Gaerwen, Anglesey in August last year and met with several representatives.

Occasionally business interests contact officials on the subject of Vertical Farming and I published the prospectus, CEA Wales: Excellence in Controlled Environment Agriculture 2021, to provide a compendium of advice and support to interested parties.
