Emirates is Building the World's Largest Vertical Farm to Supply In-Flight Catering

Crop One Holdings is bringing mass-scale vertical farming to the Middle East. The California-based company has inked a deal with Emirates that looks set to be a game changer in the region’s food supply.

It’s hard to grow lettuce in the desert but Emirates Flight Catering is countering that with highly innovative farming techniques – and that’s an intentional pun. California based Crop One Holdings is building the world’s largest vertical farm for the airline carrier as part a 40 million USD joint venture.
