While there is evidence of vertical farming in one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, it is only in the past decade that vertical farming has gained such popularity in the modern world. The world’s first commercial vertical farm opened in Singapore in 2012. Now, in 2021, Scotland has its own large-scale vertical farm in Aberdeenshire. Even Glasgow Science Centre has a miniature vertical farm as part of the Idea No59 exhibition.

Ask any primary school child what their favourite food is, you will receive a range of answers from the lesser-known pizza and chocolate part of the food pyramid. Adults aren’t much different. One answer you might not expect is kale, cabbage, and other leafy greens. However, Rethink Food, in partnership with Glasgow Science Centre, is on a mission to change that.

In a project set to begin this spring, Rethink Food and Glasgow Science Centre will be working together to provide 17 different schools across Glasgow with growing towers.

This project has already seen great success in 16 different cities across the UK. The classrooms that received growing towers from Rethink Food have had the opportunity to explore first-hand how our current food system is linked to our health and wellbeing, the economy and our environment.
