Mark’s primary interest is in taking a systemic overview of how vertical farming can be integrated with other systems, to deliver on its promises of regenerative food production and resilient societies.
What really motivates and drives him is big ideas, big ambitions, and addressing complexity, whereby the next few years will be all about integration – technologies, approaches, systems, resources and more!!
