VertiFarm to present the latest innovations for cannabis production

The 3^rd VertiFarm show in Dortmund between 8 and 10 October 2024 promises to give deep insights into the rapid development of vertical farming in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and new food systems as well as a top-class specialist congress. Chinese photobiotech expert SANANBIO will be taking part once again as special sponsor.

From 8 to 10 October 2024, VertiFarm, the international platform for next-level farming and new food systems, will be focusing once again on innovative technologies and fresh approaches for tomorrow's cultivation options. Lead topics for decision-makers and players in the agricultural sector, the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry will include the booming global cannabis market. In addition to its intoxicating effects, hemp is also used in foodstuffs as well as medicinal and cosmetic products. According to statista, one of the leading German-language statistical websites, the legal European cannabis market generated sales volumes of around EUR 230.7 million in 2022. According to one forecast, trade could increase over tenfold to over EUR 3.1 billion by 2025. 

The spectrum of cannabis and medicinal plants will also feature strongly in the three-day 8^th Congress of the Association for Vertical Farming e.V. (AVF), looking in particular at the possibilities associated with traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and European plants as well as the business opportunities for vertical farming. This year's specialist congress forms part of the free-access supporting programme.
