Join an exclusive pre-opening evening event as part of the Inhouse Farming Feed & Food and EnergyDecentral / EuroTier exhibitions. This high-level networking event connects trade organizations, companies, policymakers, research institutions, and media in the fields of renewable energy, agricultural and food technology as well as Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA).
The event highlights how insights from manufacturing, automation, and digital infrastructure can enhance the profitability of CEA systems. Integrating Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and microgrid solutions into CEA clusters offers a pathway for energy transition, combining renewable sources like biogas, wind, and solar to meet growing clean energy demands. Digital transformation is key, extending across the entire supply chain, from tech providers to post-harvest processes. This shift drives efficiency, circularity, and resilience, making CEA clusters future-ready and competitive.
Tisha Livingston, Co-Founder, 80 Acres Farms / Infinite Acres
In her keynote, Tisha Livingston, Co-Founder of 80 Acres Farms and Infinite Acres, explores the expanding opportunities for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) within the agricultural sector. She highlights how successful strategies from manufacturing, automation, and digital infrastructure can be leveraged to improve the profitability and efficiency of CEA systems. By adopting these best practices, CEA can create circular solutions and synergies that enhance economic performance for investors, regulators, tech companies, and growers. This transformation is essential for integrating CEA into large-scale infrastructure and advancing energy decentralization, helping to power a sustainable future and strengthen its role within the global economy.
