    Association For Vertical Farming Presents: Harnessing the Growing Synergy Between Space Farming And Terrestrial Indoor Agriculture

    October 7, 2020 | 2-3 pm EST
    Registration Link:

    This program is presented by the Association for Vertical Farming.  Over the decades there has been both the evolution and transformation of biologically-based life support innovations that have now been adopted — and are being improved upon — in today’s burgeoning global vertical farming industry.

    In addition, the emergence of Industry 4.0 innovations from data analytics to automation to AI is certainly enabling and helping launch vertical farms into their exponential advancements.

    And all these set the stage for synergistic public-private partnerships going forward for the successful implementation of biologically-based life support systems for long-duration manned missions on the Moon and on Mars — and all their powerful innovation multiplier effects extended further for application in the terrestrial vertical farming industry.

    Our panel will be delving into the various aspects of such brave and exciting scenarios, both present and future.

    What’s more, the Indoor Ag-Con October Webinar Schedule also includes:

    Moderator:
    Dr. Joel Cuello, Professor of Biosystems Engineering at The University of Arizona and Vice Chair of the Association for Vertical Farming

    Panelists:
    Dr. David Bubenheim, Senior Research Scientist,  NASA Ames Research Center
    Ralph Fritsche  NASA Space Crop Production Project Manager
    Dr. Gary Stutte, President, SyNRGE


    Why Does Greenhouse Equipment Need To Be Simple

    October 21, 2020 | 2-3 pm EST
    Registration Link

    What is the number one thing to look for in commercial horticulture and agriculture equipment? Simplicity.

    So wrote our program moderator Chris Higgins in a piece he did earlier this year for UrbanAgNews that is both the title of this session and the topic we’ll be diving into during this hour.

    Regardless of the product or the product category the best-selling and most successfully used products are easy to learn, easy to use and easy to fix. This is not to say that they are actually simple. They are usually far from that. But, they are engineered with simplicity in mind.

    Why is that so important in commercial horticulture? Chris and our panelists will seek to answer this question during the session. They’ll explore why its so important for key equipment components to be simple and discuss what characteristics to look for in:

    • Lighting
    • Irrigation
    • Sensors
    • And More!

    Moderator:
    Chris Higgins, President & General Manager, Hort Americas LLC & Owner, UrbanAgNews

    Panelists:
    Paul Brentlinger, President, Crop King Inc.
    Dr. Nadia Sabeh, President & Founder, Dr. Greenhouse
    Isaac Van Geest, Sales, Zwart Systems
