Aquaculture, Algae and Vertical Farming
protagonists of the event with their production chain
Three sectors, strategic to the future of the national economy, have met up in the first integrated event organised in Europe.
The result? A success with no ifs, buts nor maybes.
The success of the first edition of AquaFarm is all in the numbers: 80 brands present among the exhibitors, two sponsors such as “Del Pesce” Group and Biorigin, 4 partnerships with sector associations - of which two are international -, 15 international conference sessions, 113 speakers, 12 national and international media partners, visitors from 25 countries, in numbers greater by far than expected.
With this result, the event is already an instant classic, and it has become a landmark for aquaculture, vertical farming and algae farming, in Italy and the Mediterranean basin.
Numerous Italian and international protagonists have taken part in the event:
- Honourable Giuseppe Castiglione, State undersecretary of Agriculture, Food and Forestry
- Riccardo Rigillo, the general manager of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry
- Professor Stefano Cataudella, president of the General Commission for Mediterranean Fishing/FAO
- Dickson Despommier of Columbia University, creator of the concept of vertical farm
- Vice-president of EABA, the pan-European association of the algae industry, prof. Mario Tredici
