The "Inhouse Farming - Feed & Food Show" is the showcase for agricultural and food systems of the future. The extensive technical programme of the DLG (German Agricultural Society) B2B platform  will address the key issues of tomorrow's value chain at the trade fair grounds in Hanover from 10 to 13 November 2026. The DLG Spotlight and the Theme Days on the Expert Stage offer inspiration, expertise and cross-industry contacts. "Inhouse Farming" optimally complements the world's leading trade fair, EuroTier, and EnergyDecentral, the leading international platform for decentralised energy supply, which will take place at the same time, offering new perspectives and business models for the agri-food sector. 

Alternative proteins and circular value chain concepts are among the key issues for the future of the agri-food sector. The DLG Spotlight Inhouse Farming offers visitors an insight into innovative production systems and sustainable solutions for resource-efficient food and feed production. The focus is on practical examples from the fields of insects, edible and medicinal fungi, and aquaculture. The DLG Spotlight is sponsored by REPLOID Group AG. Other contributors to the Spotlight section include Festo SE & Co. KG, LIVIN farms AgriFood GmbH and the Bundesverband Aquakultur e.V.. Together, they demonstrate how side streams can be put to good use, material cycles closed and potential for sustainable value creation tapped into. The DLG Spotlight is located in Hall 25, Stand L22.
