By 2050, the global population is projected to reach 9.8 billion. How are we going to feed everyone? Investment-banker-turned-farmer Stuart Oda points to indoor vertical farming: growing food on tiered racks in a controlled, climate-proof environment. In a forward-looking talk, he explains how this method can maintain better safety standards, save money, use less water and help us provide for future generations.

Are indoor vertical farms the future of agriculture?

By 2050, feeding 9.8 billion people requires a 70% agricultural output increase, spotlighting indoor vertical farming's potential.

Indoor vertical farms, using 95% less water than traditional farming, could revolutionize food safety and resource efficiency.

Repurposing urban spaces for agriculture, like parking lots or office corners, merges innovation with sustainability in food production.
