歡迎來到垂直和室內農業會議!
隨著全球人口的成長,世界資源研究所面臨了一個迫在眉睫的挑戰,那就是未來幾十年糧食需求預計將激增 50%,然而與此同時,傳統農業的可用空間正在迅速縮小。在這樣的背景下,垂直農業這個能夠為世界各地提供新鮮當地農產品的希望之光就受到全球的高度關注。然而,設計複雜性、融資困難和能源成本高等問題卻已經限制了這些創新耕作方法的可擴充性。
但目前的形勢正在改變。尤其是杜拜一座 30,000 平方米的設施的運行代表了大規模垂直農業的新興潛力。根據最近的分析,部署 94 個此類設施可以完全抵消英國的進口沙拉需求。儘管美國的受控環境農業 (CEA) 行業面臨財政危機,但優化用水和減少對土地依賴的動力仍然持續推動著進步。
這次的會議也將 11th Plant Genomics & Gene Editing Congress USA 2024 ,以及 8th Partnership in Biocontrol, Biostimulant & Microbiome Congress: USA 2024 同時舉行。如果您預定參加本次會議,我們也同樣推廌您參加這些盛會。
【2024年新動態】本次活動我們安排有專為初創公司和先鋒企業所設的「快閃」口頭簡報時間,聯繫我們,我們將為您安排專屬方案,讓您的會議體驗與眾不同。 欲瞭解更多資訊,請洽詢Global Information Co., Ltd.。
