According to Pick 'n Pay, the United Nations has found that the global food supply will need to increase by 50% come 2050 in order to keep up with the estimated demand for a growing world population.

Business Watch is a daily feature on East Coast Radio - on-air at 06:30 and 18:30, respectively.

The feature is hosted by economist, award-winning radio producer, WR Van Der Merwe.

The retailer says this urban farming method will contribute towards achieving that goal.

WR Van Der Merwe has more on Pick 'n Pay's unique in-store ‘vertical farms’:

Earlier in the year, due to huge customer demand, Pick 'n Pay today launched its new Vehicle Licence Disc Renewal Service nationally. Customers will now be able to renew their licence disc in over 500 Pick n Pay stores, across South Africa, at an amended service fee of R250.
