One of the UK’s “most technically advanced” indoor farms has opened in Gloucestershire.

Mr Stephens has worked in farming all his life, growing every kind of crop.
“This is totally different”, he told me, smiling, as he checked through some of the salad harvest.
“There’s a lot of tech involved, a lot of engineering involved, and you’re inside all day long.”
The facility looks more like a warehouse than a farm. Rows of trays, each bursting with basil, lettuce and salad leaves, sit under bright, multi-coloured lights.
