Inhouse Farming show kicks off in Hannover

The first day of the Inhouse Farming Show, part of the Eurotrier kicked off today in Hanover, Germany. Eurotrier is the world's largest trade fair for professional animal husbandry and livestock management, as well as agriculture solutions. Aiming to bridge the gap and lowering the threshold for open field growers to talk to indoor farming suppliers, DLG set up the first edition of the Inhouse Farming Show.

With players from vertical insect farming, algae production, vertical farming suppliers and vertical farm operators, together, discussions came together in a very natural way. With players in energy, robotics, agrivoltaics, biogas, and way more, "the show is a great place to showcase how existing products or technology can be adopted in industries such as vertical farming," an attendee let us know.
