Transforming our food systems to produce safe, healthy and sustainable food to feed the growing global population is one of the greatest challenges in the food sector today. How will agri-food companies respond? Vertical farming is one of the solutions to producing enough food, while minimising the environmental impact, more crops on less land, year-round production not limited by natural seasons, no/low use of chemicals or pesticides and close proximity to consumers.
Being known worldwide for its many strongholds within food research, production and innovation, Denmark is rising as a leading country in vertical farming thanks to:
- Well-known strengths in water efficiency, seeding, tech, agriculture, innovation, food safety and quality, efficient production
- National focus on sustainability, innovation and export within the agri-food sector
- Advanced horticultural sector including R&D that fits well with the vertical farming sector
Co-hosted by Invest in Denmark and SGInnovation the webinar will present a unique introduction to the Danish Vertical Farming ecosystem. Amongst others in-depth knowledge of the latest trends, market perspectives, most interesting technologies and innovation. This is the perfect starting point if you are interested in R&D collaboration, looking to scaling to the Nordics/Europe, or looking for inspirational good practices.
