After spending some quality time with friends, family, and, most importantly, ourselves, —away from emails—we're back! As we gear up for another exciting year of delivering all the relevant news from the horticultural industry, let's take one final look back at 2024 by revisiting the year's most-read articles.
Growing without LEDs
The top article of 2024 spotlighted a CEA startup aiming to remove artificial lighting from commercial vertical farming systems. Supported by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this innovative program sought to demonstrate that growing crops without LEDs is possible, and sustainable.
Although the top articles are characterized by quite some unfortunate news - the Planet Farms fire, several bankruptcies, or ceasing operations, we also find many interesting articles, novelties and positive stories in our top 50. A special shout-out to articles about India, always a hit, and mushrooms. We're delighted to see your enthusiasm for articles on innovations, trade shows, and of course the growers stories.
2025, here we come!
