Better for the planet
Controlled Environment Farms are an essential part of combating climate change. Bringing production closer to the point of consumption cuts down on emissions and enables us to respond quickly to changing demand, which in turn reduces food waste.
Better for you
We offer a fully protected environment which means we don’t need pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. So you can be confident that when you eat one of our pea shoots you aren’t also ingesting a dose of DDT. Joni Mitchell would approve.
OUR MISSION
To create innovative, profitable and sustainable growing systems that make the highest quality produce accessible to all
We are B Corp certified!
That’s right; we are officially the first Controlled Environment Farm in the UK to get B Corp certification! Over the last 10 months, our sustainability team have been through a rigorous audit process measuring our social and environmental impact to validate that ZCF meets the highest standards of environmental and social transparency, performance and accountability. B Corp certification has put us alongside a growing group of companies reinventing business which are prioritising the planet over profits.
Carbon negative farms?
We have officially been certified as being Carbon Neutral +. To meet this standard we have accounted for all our GHG emissions in the past year and have offset these + 10% more to become net carbon negative.
Certification is provided by Carbon Footprint Ltd in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 guidelines and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s corporate standards.
Don't just take our word for it!
We are thrilled to announce that we have been ranked 15th in Forward Fooding’s FoodTech 500, 2020’s definitive list of the best AgTech businesses in the world. Better still, we are the highest ranked company in the UK!
Maintaining our presence at the top end of the FoodTech 500 cements our position as the leading UK controlled environment farm and puts us in prime position as we move forward with our expansion.
