Inhouse Farming to host pre-opening event on November 11

DLG (German Agricultural Society), organizer of EuroTier, is this year hosting an exclusive pre-opening event, which is part of the Inhouse Farming Feed & Food Show, EnergyDecentral, and EuroTier, the leading trade fair for livestock management.

The networking event unites industry professionals and experts at 6 p.m. on Monday, 11 November 2024, at the Convention Center (CC) at the trade fair grounds in Hanover, Germany. Attendees include professional associations, companies, political decision-makers, research institutions, and media from the fields of renewable energies, agricultural and food technology, as well as Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). The latest findings in the areas of manufacturing, automation, and digital infrastructure that can contribute to improving the profitability of CEA systems will be presented and discussed.

The event is entitled "Tackling the elephant in the room: renewable energies for future farming and food systems". After the welcoming addresses by Freya von Czettritz, CEO, DLG Holding, and Tom Zoellner, Secretary General, FarmTech Society (Moderator), Tisha Livingston, Co-Founder, 80 Acres Farms / Infinite Acres, will give the keynote address. The pre-opening event offers a concise overview of the growing opportunities for controlled environment agriculture in the agricultural sector.

Livingston will highlight how successful strategies from manufacturing, automation, and digital infrastructure can be employed to increase the profitability and efficiency of CEA systems. Best practice examples will demonstrate how CEA can create cycle-oriented solutions and synergies that improve economic performance for investors, technology companies, and growers. This transformation is essential for the integration of CEA into large-scale infrastructures and for the further development of decentralized energies to shape a sustainable future and strengthen their role in the global economy.

A panel discussion with representatives from science and industry is part of the event. Participants include Joyce Rasquin, Manager Business Development Grodan; Andy Manley, Vertical Market Manager Siemens Smart Infrastructure; Michael Stelter, Deputy Director Fraunhofer Institute IKTS Dresden; Tristan Fischer, Founder; and Group CEO Fischer Farms.
