The Innovative Agriculture Centre is a look into the future of farming within the UK, and a blueprint for the rest of the world. The former Northumbria Water Treatment Site has been transformed into a state-of-the-art complex for the research and production of crops using innovative growing techniques.

The Innovation centre supports educational services and intensive research, containing state-of-the-art laboratories, high tech seminar rooms and a ground-breaking mock growing facility. Advances and breakthroughs in research are put into production on site within the modular greenhouse building, where crops are grown, harvested and packaged for consumption across the region.
