The Future of Agriculture, Elevate Farms – Automated Vertical Farming System

When: 16 October, 18:00
Where : USI Executive Center, Blue Room, Via Buffi 13
Guest Speaker: Amin Jadavji, co-founder of Elevate Farms

Join us for an event on the future of agriculture, focusing on vertical farming and the transformative role of space technology in food production. This event will feature a keynote presentation by Amin Jadavji, co-founder of Elevate Farms, a leader in vertical farming solutions that significantly reduce water and land usage while improving the sustainability of local food production.

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.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about cutting-edge agricultural technology and its potential to transform food systems both locally and globally.
