Fischer Farms is Europe 's biggest vertical farm in a cavernous warehouse in Norwich .
The idea behind vertical farming is to create an environment where you can grow plants, stacked on top of each other (hence: vertical) in high density.
By controlling the amount of light, one could grow more or less everything, any time of the year .
Vertical farming promises to dramatically increase agricultural productivity in the coming decades .
Vertical farming is in large part an energy business.
If energy prices are low enough, it makes the crops here considerably cheaper.
But here in the UK , with power costs higher than anywhere else in the world, the prospects for this business are more challenged than elsewhere.
Still, Mr Fischer 's objective is to prove the business case here before building bigger units elsewhere.
