"With this E-dialogue, we will conclude the series of events dedicated to various technical aspects of commercial urban farming. Our E-dialogues started in 2021 and included more than 40 speakers and experts in urban agriculture and were attended by almost 900 participants representing key stakeholders of the sector from 95 countries in five continents."
"In this final E-dialogue, our team of experts will present the main findings of our research. These include insights into several topics that are paramount for commercial urban farming, including technologies,
business models and sustainability."
"We encourage all traditional and innovative farmers, technology providers, investors, researchers, representatives of public authorities, and all interested parties to join this global dialogue. Together, we
can influence the future of commercial urban agriculture and make it more sustainable, efficient, and resilient."
"Mark your calendar and join us on Zoom for this informative and thought-provoking discussion. We look forward to your active participation."
