There are still spots available in Wageningen University & Research's vertical farming course.
"Vertical farming holds great promise for producing high-quality crops with very high yields every day of the year. and it enables plant production at any place of the world independent of climate, fertility of soil, or urbanisation. It has a lot of opportunities, but also a number of challenges," says Professor Leo Marcelis.
"In our upcoming Vertical Farming course (5–30 January 2026) at Wageningen University & Research, we bring together professionals, students and researchers in a mixed classroom to explore what really works in controlled environment agriculture."

Over three interactive online weeks, the course will will examine how light, climate, nutrients and technology interact to shape crop growth, and how scientific insights can improve sustainability, profitability and product quality in vertical farms.
The course concludes in week four with the 2-day Vertical Farming Mini-Conference (29–30 January 2026) in Wageningen, where participants exchange perspectives, see the latest research in action and discuss real challenges from industry.
A view-only option is also available for those who wish to follow the online lectures and recordings.
