With a big push to buy Canadian, vertical farming could be a way to grow leafy greens in the dead of winter — and reduce our reliance on U.S. produce. We look at how vertical farming works, what it costs, and whether it can actually be scaled up to help feed Canadians.

In this special tribute episode of The Vertical Farming Podcast, I honor the life and legacy of Dr. Dickson Despommier, the visionary who laid the foundation for vertical farming as we know it today.His book, The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century, completely changed the way I thought about food production, sustainability, and the future of agricultureReading it in 2019 was a turning point for me—it was the spark that led to the creation of this podcast.Over the years, I've spoken with over 150 CEOs and founders in the industry, and so many of them cite Dr. Despommier as a major influence on their work. His vision of growing food in urban skyscrapers was once considered radical, but today, it's shaping the future of sustainable agriculture.Though he's no longer with us, his ideas continue to inspire, and it's up to all of us—researchers, farmers, entrepreneurs, and investors—to carry his vision forward. This episode is my way of saying thank you to a man whose ideas changed my life—and the world.Additional Social TributesMarc Oshima on LinkedInNona Yehia on LinkedInHonoring Dr. Dickson Despommier: The Visionary Who Planted the Seeds for Vertical Farming's Future - Henry Gordon-SmithThanks to Our SponsorsBio520 Resources MentionedThe Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century, by Dickson Despommier - https://amzn.to/3QhWWyYConnect With UsVFP LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/verticalfarmingpodcastVFP Twitter - https://twitter.com/VerticalFarmPodVFP Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/direct/inbox/VFP Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/VerticalFarmPodSubscribe to our newsletters!AgTech Digest - https://agtechdigest.comThe Indoor Farmer - https://www.indoorverticalfarm.com/Horti-Gen Insights - https://www.hortigeninsights.com/

Das deutsche Vertical Farming Startup vGreens hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Früchteproduktion mit einem KI-basierten Indoor-Farm-System zu revolutionieren. Mit dieser Idee erlebt das Gründerteam rund um Dr. Maximilian Hartmann zurzeit diesen einen Gamechanger-Moment, von dem viele Jungunternehmer träumen: Noch vor drei Jahren bastelten sie in einer Garage in Witten an einem Prototyp, heute ergattern sie eine Auszeichnung nach der anderen und werden ihre Geschäftsidee noch dieses Wochenende auf der diesjährigen UN-Klimakonferenz in Baku vorstellen. „Um ehrlich zu sein, fühlt es sich manchmal noch etwas surreal an“, verrät Maximilian im Gespräch mit Podcast-Host Carsten Puschmann, der das Startup seit einem Jahr als Advisory Board Member begleitet. Angefangen hat alles mit dem Wunsch, mit einer innovativen Idee einen positiven Impact auf die Lebensgrundlage der nächsten Generationen zu haben. Kurz darauf die Erkenntnis: Wieso gibt es Vertical Farming nur für Blattgrün, nicht aber für nährstoffreiche Lebensmittel wie Früchte? Wie ein vierköpfiges Gründerteam aus dem Ruhrgebiet aus diesem Gedanken ein skalierbares Geschäftsmodell entwickelte und was das deutsche Startup-Ökosystem so zu bieten hat, erzählt uns Gründer Dr. Maximilian Hartmann in dieser Folge! Als Special Guest mit dabei: Klöckner CEO Guido Kerkhoff. Der ehemalige CEO von Thyssen Krupp ist heute Investor und Beiratsmitglied bei vGreens und berichtet, womit ihn der Business Case überzeugt hat und wieso er jungen Startups zum Aufbau eines Advisory Boards rät.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I enjoy a conversation with Eddy Badrina, CEO of Eden Green, a company on a mission to reshape agriculture through cutting-edge vertical indoor greenhouse technology. With a focus on sustainability, Eddy shares how Eden Green is pioneering new methods to grow fresh produce more efficiently, using less water, energy, and reducing carbon emissions. We discuss Eden Green's innovative approach, where their patented microclimate technology creates optimal growing conditions for each plant. This precise control over water, light, and nutrients not only enhances the growth process but also significantly reduces resource consumption. The result is fresher, safer produce that reaches grocery shelves within 48 hours, addressing the long-standing issue of food miles and waste in the supply chain. Eddy also introduces us to their groundbreaking herb program, which stands as a first in the industry. Unlike the traditional model that relies on fragmented, global supply chains, Eden Green's approach allows for the growth, packaging, and distribution of over ten herb varieties from a single location. This innovation reduces the complexity and environmental impact associated with herb distribution, offering retailers a more sustainable and efficient solution. Throughout our discussion, Eddy provides a forward-looking perspective on the future of agriculture. He outlines Eden Green's ambitious plans to expand across the U.S., with the goal of establishing 20 production facilities within the next five years. This expansion is not just about scaling their operations but also about setting a new standard for how fresh produce can be grown and distributed sustainably.  

I tease Harry Duran about how we first connected, because it makes me feel good about my scrappiness as a podcaster. He wasn't mean, just way bigger than me - and he still is, we're just connected now, which I'm so grateful for!Harry's first podcast, Podcast Junkies just hit the 10 year mark recently, and I'm super grateful to have been a guest (see episode 332). If you remember the show Inside the Actor's Studio, with James Lipton, it's based on that, but for podcasters. There are so many podcasters, and everyone has a story --His 2nd podcast, Vertical Farming, is about just that, and has brought him all over the world.

Rick Vanzura, CEO of Freight Farms, and Dr. Amber Orman, Chief Wellness Officer at Advent Health, discuss their partnership in bringing hyperlocal, sustainable food to healthcare facilities. Freight Farms uses modified shipping containers to grow crops, allowing for year-round production with minimal land and water usage. Advent Health recognized the importance of nutrition in whole-person care and saw the opportunity to provide their team members, physicians, patients, and the public with fresh, nutritious food and donate to local food pantries. The partnership has demonstrated the power of food as medicine and the potential for sustainable farming practices in healthcare settings.   Rick explains, "We grow about two and a half to three acres worth of crops out of an 8 by 40-foot shipping container. It looks like any shipping container you would see on a dock or a boat, but it's highly modified to grow food using LED lights, airflow, nutrients delivered through the farm, and controlled through software. It's really designed so you can grow 365 days a year, very clean food, with temperatures from minus 40° to 120°, and do that consistently. And again, get all of the value of it being hyperlocal and fresh and using minimal land and water." Amber elaborates," We have a doctors' lounge where the doctors, nurse practitioners, and some leaders eat. We also have a public-facing cafeteria, so anybody who visits the hospital can eat in the cafeteria. It's served in there. It's served in our patient meals, so we have certain meals containing the produce, so all of our salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Then we're also supplying anything extra to a local food pantry, and then they also donate to Kingdom Kids Academy in Kissimmee. We are able to sustain all of these things and donate some extra when we have it, even out to the community. It certainly provides better nutrition within a given day to those patients and team members and the people who receive the donations. It's also a way to start educating people about the benefits of eating more plants. We all need to eat more plants for better health, and so that's one of our guiding missions here." #AdventHealth #FreightFarms #VerticalFarming #Healthcare #FoodAsMedicine #AgTech adventhealth.com freightfarms.com Download the transcript here

In Zukunft müssen Lebensmittel vermehrt dort produziert werden, wo sie auch konsumiert werden – das sagt Daniel Podmirseg. Der Wiener Architekt und Gründer des Vertical Farming Institute in Wien beschäftigt sich mit neuen Gebäudeformen für eine städtische vertikale Lebensmittelproduktion – denn gerade in Großstädten, wo es wenig Platz für flächenintensive Landwirtschaft gibt, steigt die Nachfrage nach Nahrungsmitteln. So gibt es etwa in der US-amerikanischen Stadt New York bereits zahlreiche Wolkenkratzer, auf deren Dächern großflächig Gemüse angebaut und anschließend unten im Supermarkt verkauft wird. Podmirseg spricht mit Saskia Jungnikl-Gossy über Anbaumöglichkeiten in Städten, die Ernährung der Zukunft und was die Politik tun sollte.

THE RISE OF VERTICAL FARMING FROM THE FEBRUARY 2023 ISSUE OF INSIDE GROWER MAGAZINE WRITTEN BY DANIEL PILSWORTH NARRATED BY BILL CALKINS   EXCERPT: The sky is the limit: In 1999, Columbia professor Dickson Despommier used the term “vertical farming” to describe a system of agriculture in which crops are grown indoors on vertically stacked platforms. His students imagined skyscrapers with lush greens, bursting from the sides of city buildings and providing hyper-local produce to dense urban centers. In the two decades since then, vertical farming has grown up in unexpected—yet promising—ways. In fact, according to the most recent P&S Intelligence report, the total vertical farming market size in 2021 was $3.98 billion and this number is expected to grow 25.2% annually to reach $30.2 billion by 2030.   Read the digital edition of Inside Grower Magazine—February 2023: https://www.ballpublishing.com/magazine/ig_23_02/index.aspx
