SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 6, 2024 – The 3rd VertiFarm show, taking place in Dortmund, Germany from October 8th to 10th, 2024, is set to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in vertical farming and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). The event will focus on innovative technologies and new approaches to cultivation, with a particular emphasis on the burgeoning cannabis market.
Vertical farming, a method of growing crops in vertically stacked layers, has gained significant traction in recent years due to its potential to address food security and sustainability concerns. VertiFarm serves as a leading platform for industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers to explore the latest trends and innovations in this rapidly evolving field.
One of the key highlights of VertiFarm 2024 is the spotlight on the cannabis market. While cannabis is known for its intoxicating effects, it also holds immense potential for applications in food, medicine, and cosmetics. "According to statista, one of the leading German-language statistical websites, the legal European cannabis market generated sales volumes of around EUR 230.7 million in 2022. According to one forecast, trade could increase over tenfold to over EUR 3.1 billion by 2025," states a VertiFarm press release.
The event will feature a three-day congress hosted by the Association for Vertical Farming (AVF), delving into the various facets of cannabis and medicinal plant cultivation. The congress will explore the potential of vertical farming in relation to traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and European plants, as well as the associated business opportunities.
SANANBIO, a leading Chinese photobiotech company, will be a special sponsor of VertiFarm 2024. The company specializes in sustainable vertical farming solutions, offering advanced hydroponic systems and climate control technologies. SANANBIO's RADIX system, recognized for its innovative approach to plant growth optimization, is already being utilized in over 40 countries.
"We use our continuous technological innovation and experience in large-scale vertical farming to enable our clients to turn their urban farming dreams into reality. We invite other partners to join our sales family," said Galen Zhou, Global Sales Director at SANANBIO.
VertiFarm 2024 promises to be a valuable event for anyone interested in the future of agriculture and food production. The event will provide a platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration, fostering the growth and development of the vertical farming industry.
