better food.

Vertical Future is a technology company focused on building a better, more sustainable urban food production and supply system.

Established in 2016 by Jamie and Marie Burrows, we now have two active high-tech production sites in London, and products from our MiniCrops consumer brand are regularly used in over 100 restaurants and thousands of households.

Our mission is to improve the long-term health of urban inhabitants – one leaf at a time.

Why bother?

Well, besides the current food model being broken and other external pressures including climate change and Brexit, poor quality food and eating habits are two of the biggest contributors to obesity and other long-term diseases. In London, the food system is also the single largest contributor to CO2 emissions.

If we don't take action today, there won't be a tomorrow.

technology.

Our production sites and in-house technologies allow us to produce high-quality, ethical food, with a high degree of precision and control.

Equally, our engineering team are continually working on ways to achieve efficiencies in production through smart automation, data utilisation, and process flow.

Our sites.

We currently have two production sites in London, located in Deptford and London Fields, with a further site planned for development, in London (Zone 1), for 2020. Plans are being put in place to offer monthly tours, in addition to the many other social and community-facing activities each site offers.

PRODUCE CLOSER TO HOME.

Our consumer brand, MiniCrops, is currently used in over 100 restaurants across Central London and in thousands of households.

Provided on-demand, daily, and pesticide-free, the quality and freshness of our produce, together with the speed and ethics of our service, makes our business model hard to match. Below are just a few of the restaurants and food brands that use us on a regular basis.
