As climate change and resource scarcity challenge conventional farming methods, Elevate Farms is at the forefront of providing an innovative solution. Their automated systems, developed from space research with ESA and NASA, allow for efficient, sustainable production of leafy greens using 90% less water and land than traditional agriculture—without the use of pesticides. These advancements hold the promise of revolutionizing Switzerland’s agricultural sector by bringing fresh, locally grown produce directly to consumers with minimal environmental impact.
During the event, Amin will delve into how this technology is already being implemented in Switzerland and globally, and why vertical farming is essential for reducing reliance on imported produce. From pioneering research in controlled-environment agriculture to practical applications in local supply chains, this event will offer unique insights into the future of farming.
