Ocado invests £17m to 'become a leader' in vertical farming
The grocery etailer has signed a memorandum of understanding with 80 Acres Farms and Priva Holding to form a joint venture called Infinite Acres designing “turnkey solutions” to vertical farming clients.
It has also completed the 58% acquisition of Jones Food Company, which operates Europe’s largest operating vertical farm in Scunthorpe.
The two deals represent a £17m investment by Ocado in the vertical farming space.
