In the past hundred years agriculture has come a long way. Obviously we now produce more food than ever before, but our current approach is unsustainable, and as the world’s population rapidly reaches the 8 billion mark, modern food production methods will need transforming if they’re going to keep up.
IHC has decades of experience worldwide, from the Americas to Africa, Gulf and Asia, working alongside key decision makers such as CEOs, directors, farm owners, Government departments, procurement managers, farm managers, agronomists, small scale farmers and commercial farmers. We are run by a team of professionals involved in the worldwide agriculture industry, from salad crops to cocoa and flowers.
As horticultural experts we are always working with new ideas, products and services ensuring high yield with minimum waste. Leading edge sustainable methods are at the heart of our work, and our international skills are far reaching across many applications: from hi-tech vertical growing, through to traditional irrigation, crop protection and fertigation.
Integrity & Innovation
New technologies such as vertical growing in urban and rural environments, along with hydroponics and aeroponics, is where IHC’s team of experienced international horticulture specialists can make things happen. From feasibility investigations, due diligence and financials through to final construction we have overseen leading edge growing projects across the globe from Mexico to South Korea and Qatar (see our full list of projects on the case studies page of this site). Our client-focused team designs and installs everything from leading-edge research centres to fully automated hydroponic growing systems in hostile climates for salad crops. We even have experience in the latest vertical growing applications using technology such as hydroponics and LED lighting - capable of producing up to 10,000 heads of lettuce per day.
IHC - The Intelligent Choice
Supporting innovations and the latest technologies that enable the agricultural industry to adapt to climate change and ensure food security is one of the main outcomes of the fifth edition of the World Government Summit 2017, and at the forefront of much of IHC’s work. A recent indoor growing project in the Middle East provided savings of 90 per cent less water than equivalent open field farming methods, while also recycling water use. Our new installations help combat carbon footprint of food imports that have previously accumulated thousands of miles, thus reducing dependence on imports. Integrity and innovation is our mission statement - why not join us on this exciting journey today?

It takes more than just investment alone to make a new project work, and we regularly see such projects fail after just a couple of years due to poor planning and design - Integrity and innovation is our mission statement, so why not call upon a trusted team of horticultural designers and growers to oversee your upcoming project, who have first hand experience of cutting costs and increasing margins across the board.
