Supporting Bright Young Business

When you think of the future of food, what do you picture? In very different ways, Charlie Guy (LettUs Grow) and Thomas Farrugia (Beta Bugs) are influencing the future of agriculture with a level of innovation which earned them a place in the Final 6 for our 2018 Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Lettus Grow is growing produce right where its needed using aeroponics, cutting down the time, resources and distance travelled of food to a fraction of traditional methods. Meanwhile, Betas Bugs is revolutionising the 'insects as protein' sector, accelerating the sustainability of the animal feed industry by breeding fast-growing strains of insect.
