VERTICAL

International trade fair for next level farming and new food systems

27–29 September 2022, Messe Dortmund, Germany

Shaping the Future of Vertical Farming & New Food Systems!

The concept of vertical farming and New Food Systems has already become an issue of strategic global importance and is producing a vibrant developing market, with innovative start-ups and major corporations driving the development of vertical farming in cosmopolitan areas. The aim of New Food Systems is to maximise and secure yields – without neglecting ecological and social factors.

It's high time – not just to accord this topic the societal relevance it deserves – but to provide a forum for information and sales opportunities that's focused exclusively on vertical farming. This is where VertiFarm comes in, making its début as the first and only dedicated trade show for Vertical Farming & New Food Systems. Starting in 2022, Messe Dortmund is filling this gap, bringing together knowledge, technology, R&D and networking opportunities at the heart of the Ruhr, one of Germany's key logistics hubs.

New Food Systems: ecological, efficient, innovative

Because more people need more food, the growing world population poses new challenges to food supply. This is where New Food Systems come in. New technologies can be used to revolutionise the supply system as they function more independently and require less intervention than conventional farming methods.

The aim of New Food Systems is to maximise and secure yields – without neglecting ecological and social factors. Become part of the future and see at VertiFarm how the food needs of future generations can be met in an environmentally friendly way.
