About the show

CEA conversations that go deeper

The Vertical Farming Podcast brings you in-depth conversations with the people building the indoor growing industry — from seed to scale.

Powered by iGrow News, the Vertical Farming Podcast explores every dimension of Controlled Environment Agriculture — the technology, the business models, the capital, and the people who keep pushing the industry forward despite the headwinds.

Each episode features candid interviews and behind-the-scenes insights from founders, operators, engineers, investors, and researchers shaping the farms of tomorrow. Since launching in 2020, the show has become one of the most listened-to voices in the global CEA community.

The Vertical Farming Podcast is part of the iGrow AgTech Podcast Network, alongside Greenhouse Success Stories and AgTech Digest.

Harry Duran, host of the Vertical Farming Podcast

Harry Duran

CEO, AgTech Media Group LLC · Podcast Host since 2020

Since launching the Vertical Farming Podcast in 2020, Harry Duran has interviewed more than 100 voices across the vertical farming ecosystem — from early-stage founders navigating their first capital rounds to CEOs of some of the world's largest AgTech firms.

As CEO of AgTech Media Group LLC, Harry brings a media professional's instinct for great storytelling together with a genuine passion for the future of food. His conversations cut through the noise to surface the insights, failures, and hard-won lessons that rarely make it into press releases.

Whether he's speaking with a grower operating two racks in a shipping container or the leadership of a publicly traded indoor farming company, Harry's interviews deliver the candour and depth the CEA industry deserves.
