V-Farm is an urban vertical farming and crop development company. We are developing 'living vitamins'. These are living plant based vitamin and mineral supplements. A range of crops we have developed to deliver rapid growth in our specifically designed vertical growth chambers and very high nutritional levels (example: one handful of crop gives as much vitamin C as four oranges). They are NON GM.This is a disruptive technology - an alternative to traditional tablet application.Growing our crops in specifically developed hardware allows production at point of use -- for the retailer it reduces food miles, food waste, packaging waste. Creates food theatre.For the health/social care/ school community it offers a real opportunity to produce 'true 'functional food and the nutritional benefits served in shot form have far more gut uptake than tablets or powder supplements. Aiding prevention and self-management of lifestyle diseases using personalized prescribed mixes of our crops for more personal nutritional uptake.For the consumer it increases nutrition, reduces food waste and consumption is more beneficial to the body with less waste product passing back into waste water.A complete dietary alternative to poorly performing synthetic supplements. Incorporated into functional foods and diet/health systems. Improving health and well-being for all. Aim to be produced in post brexit UK and exported globally.There is currently no way of offering a concentrated form of vitamins and minerals through natural fresh plant material that has...• guaranteeing nutritional content• replicable time and again in any environment or location• consumer friendly so you can take a little and not a bowl full • fast in production so that daily doses at home can be producedWe have now developed and patented a way of delivering a defined nutritional load in a crop. We have developed 'grow chambers' that will allow these crops to be grown at point of use in homes or commercial settings and now we are finalising the development of the 'growing biscuit' that deliver the crops into the system. This grant will assist us in this final steps before launch, developing a machine that will allow mass production of growing 'buscuits' to allow scaled production plus a consultant nutritionist to advise on mixes of crop and amounts for delivering strong benefits for human health and well being and 'go to market' offerings.

V-Farm是一家城市垂直农业和作物开发公司。我们正在开发“活的维生素”。这些都是以植物为基础的维生素和矿物质补充剂。我们开发了一系列作物，在我们专门设计的垂直生长室中实现快速生长，并具有非常高的营养水平(例如：一把作物提供的维生素C相当于四个橙子)。他们是非转基因的。这是一种颠覆性的技术--传统平板电脑应用的替代。在专门开发的硬件中种植我们的作物，允许在使用点生产--对于零售商来说，它减少了食品里程数、食物浪费和包装浪费。创造美食剧场。对于健康/社会保健/学校社区来说，它提供了一个真正的机会来生产‘真正的’功能食品，而且以饮片形式提供的营养益处比片剂或粉末补充剂有更多的肠道吸收。帮助预防和自我管理生活方式疾病，使用我们的作物的个性化处方混合物，以获得更个性化的营养吸收。对于消费者来说，它增加营养，减少食物浪费，消费对身体更有益，减少废物产品进入废水中。是表现不佳的合成补充剂的完整饮食替代品。纳入功能性食品和饮食/健康系统。改善全民的健康和福祉。目标是在脱欧后的英国生产并出口到全球。目前还没有办法通过天然新鲜植物材料提供浓缩形式的维生素和矿物质，这种材料具有……·保证营养含量·可在任何环境或地点反复复制·对消费者友好，这样你可以少量而不是一碗满满地生产·快速生产，以便在国内生产每日剂量。我们现在已经开发出一种在作物中提供特定营养负荷的方法，并获得了专利。我们已经开发了“种植室”，可以在家庭或商业环境中种植这些作物，现在我们正在完成将作物输送到系统中的“种植饼干”的开发。这笔赠款将帮助我们在启动前的最后几步，开发一种机器，它将允许大规模生产不断生长的“丛林”，允许规模化生产，以及一名顾问营养师就作物组合和数量提供建议，从而为人类健康和福祉提供强大的好处，并“推向市场”。
