Food for Sustainability - Webinar, Vertical farming: today and tomorrow

27 May, 4 pm

It is expected that by 2050 the world’s population will grow to 9.7 billion.  Cumulatively, the Earth is losing its arable land area every day. Combining these two problems, sustaining the future population will be a huge challenge.  

This need is one of today’s biggest challenges, and many people believe that vertical farming may be the answer. 

Vertical farming is the practice of producing food on vertical surfaces. That is, instead of growing vegetables and other foods on one surface, such as in a field or greenhouse, as we are used to, this method produces food in vertical layers, which makes it possible to maximize crops in a limited space.
