Green Tech South West welcomes Lilly Manzoni, head of research and development at LettUs Grow, a Bristol based vertical farming startup developing sustainable farming technologies, to explain all about aeroponic technology.

LettUs Grow is an indoor agriculture company addressing systemic problems in food production and supply chain management. They are part of a movement to establish localised indoor farms in and around cities, improving local food security and reducing food waste.

In this session Lilly will give an introduction to LettUs Grow covering their journey, aims and ethos as a company with sustainability at its core. She'll also discuss how LettUs Grow creates cutting edge technology like Ostara and Drop & Grow, to deliver modular, aeroponic irrigation with intelligent control technology improving the efficiency, sustainability and ROI of indoor farming.

Lilly is a specialist in the field of atmospheric aerosol chemistry with a passion to improve the world through technology. She has revolutionised the generation of aerosol in aeroponics, solving a fundamental industrial problem which has held back the field until now.

Before joining LettUs Grow, Lilly worked at the Bristol Aerosol Research Centre, where her work was funded by the world-leading agency, DSTL. Lilly is also the diversity and inclusion lead for the local chapter of Legal Hackers, an organisation which aims to ethically hack problems for traditionally underrepresented groups.
