The transformation of the agriculture and food sector is in full swing. Developing sustainable visions across the agricultural and food value chain requires engagement of different stakeholders and specialized expertise. Which strategy is the right one in the long term? Various diversification options should be considered to mitigate the business risks and to enhance supply chain resilience. The Inhouse Farming Feed & Food Convention 2025 is the ideal source of inspiration for this.
With investment prospects in traditional farming areas becoming increasingly uncertain in some parts of Europe, many farmers are exploring new ways to apply their skills — not just to stay competitive, but to continue to contribute to the future of food and farming. Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) - from vertical farming, insect farming, aquaculture to cellular agriculture - is gaining traction as a promising complement. Switching to alternative business models, weather insect or algae farming, is no small step. It requires significant investment, new knowledge, and a rethinking of farm operations. But it also opens up new opportunities — for sustainability, economic resilience, and public acceptance.
The convention's kick-off event is aimed particularly at farmers who are open to new business models in the food value chain. This includes, for instance, modular fish systems as an extension to the farm, the cultivation of algae on the farm, growing high-value crops in empty pig barns or the integration of insects into the agricultural cycle as a natural source of protein. The food processing industry as well as the agrifood start-ups will also be addressed in Hamburg. Farmers, food industry and start-ups are jointly driving the transformation towards more sustainable and efficient production systems. The new event of DLG, Inhouse Farming Feed & Food Convention 2025, offers this diverse industry an outstanding platform for professional dialogue and pioneering discussions. Rethink Agriculture!
