M&S rolls out urban farming scheme in 7 London stores
Marks & Spencer has rolled out the first phase of its in-store urban farming trial to seven locations in London as part of its new partnership with Infarm.
The retailer used trading data of its existing fresh herb range to identify the right sites for the first stage of roll out.
Infarm uses farming technology that combines vertical farming units with IOT technologies and machine learning, to deliver a controlled eco-system with light, air and nutrients.
Each unit is remotely controlled using a cloud-based platform, which learns, adjusts and continuously improves to ensure each plant grows better than the last one.
