"Global Food Challenges: Vertical Farming as a Catalyst for Innovation & Climate Action"
September 3 + 4, 2025 - H4 Hotel Munich Messe, Germany
Vertical farming as a catalyst for climate protection measures and innovation
The concepts of controlled environment agriculture (CEA), vertical farming and new food systems have become global topics of the future and dynamically developing markets. Innovative start-ups and large corporations are jointly driving development in this still young, innovative sector.
In times of climate change and increasingly frequent extreme weather events, the aim of agriculture in controlled environments is to find innovative solutions to global challenges such as food security, resource scarcity and population growth.
Since 2022, the VertiFarm trade fair has provided this socially relevant topic with an exclusive platform for the essential exchange of knowledge and the presentation and discussion of innovations. Supported by the Association for Vertical Farming (AVF), the world's leading non-profit organization in its field, as a strong professional partner.
This year, the focus is more on the professional exchange between the individual players in this sector. Networking, knowledge exchange and knowledge acquisition are indispensable factors in the further development of this industry. The 9th AVF Summit - powered by VertiFarm - will therefore take place on September 3 and 4 under the title “Global Food Challenges: Vertical Farming as a Catalyst for Innovation & Climate Action”. Vertical farming as a catalyst for climate action and innovation.
