The Fourth Annual Global Vertical Farming Show is anticipated to surpass its predecessor in scale and success. With an expected 30-40% increase in attendance, this year’s event will bring together a more diverse group of individuals representing a more comprehensive range of countries. The rapid progression of the vertical farming industry, coupled with a record-breaking number of new farms established within the past year, has drawn considerable attention from companies and individuals worldwide. In a recent interview, Tahir Abdul Bari, CEO of the organizing group, shared insights about the upcoming summit.
As the global population is projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the demand for food will place immense pressure on our already burdened food system. Traditional farming methods are unsustainable and insufficient to meet the needs of our growing population. Vertical farming, with its potential to revolutionize food production and consumption, emerges as a promising alternative.
Tahir Abdul Bari, CEO of TAB group, believes that vertical farming can solve pressing challenges such as climate change, food insecurity, and water scarcity. Vertical farming involves cultivating crops in stacked layers utilizing artificial lighting, temperature control, and hydroponic systems. This approach allows for year-round crop production with minimal water and land usage.
The vertical farming industry, still in its infancy, presents ample opportunities for growth and innovation. This prospect excites professionals passionate about agriculture, technology, or sustainability. Opportunities range from starting one’s vertical farm, investing in existing ones, or providing support services and technology to the industry. The Global Vertical Farming Show by TAB group aims to provide a platform for stakeholders to exchange knowledge, ideas, and best practices in the field. This year’s summit in Dubai will feature keynote speeches from industry experts, interactive panel discussions, and networking opportunities.
With the increasing interest in vertical farming, the summit is expected to attract a more diverse group of attendees than ever before. From investors to farmers, entrepreneurs to policymakers, participants will have the chance to learn about the latest advancements in the industry and connect with like-minded individuals from around the world.
In addition to the leading conference, the summit will feature an exhibition hall showcasing the latest technologies and products in the vertical farming industry. This presents a valuable opportunity for companies to showcase their products and services to potential customers and investors.
As the vertical farming industry continues to gain momentum, the Global Vertical Farming Show on the 13th & 14th of September plays a vital role in promoting collaboration and innovation in the field. With this year’s event expected to be the largest and most diverse yet, the future of vertical farming looks bright, especially in the Middle East.
