You're invited to a talk organized by Studium Generale on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, from 19:30 to 21:00 at the Vrijhof/Amphi, where the focus will be on the future of vertical farming. This innovative method can produce up to 50 times more food in the same space as traditional farming and uses 95% less water through hydroponics.

While vertical farming shows promise for use in urban areas and even deserts, it also faces challenges like high energy consumption and costs. Prof. Dr. Ir. Leo Marcelis, a specialist from Wageningen University, will share insights on these issues and why he believes solutions are within reach.

Join us to learn more about this promising approach to sustainable agriculture!
