Taiwan-based agtech company YesHealth Biotechnology has chosen York in the UK as the location for its $25.6m (£18m) European vertical farming business, providing local consumers with pesticide-free products. Vertical farming sees food grown on vertically stacked layers using indoor farming techniques such as artificial lighting, humidity, temperature and gases. A 250-acre agricultural district is being planned for Shanghai, China, with space to work, live, shop and farm food.
