By 2050, global populations are predicted to exceed nine billion, which poses a huge hurdle for global producers as their output would have to increase by 70 percent to maintain sustenance. Before alleviating the concerns about a global food crisis, many obstacles must be overcome. These include rising temperatures and more frequent droughts brought on by global warming, which are making traditional farming practices inefficient.There is growing consensus that the agricultural sector needs to reform to use less water and pesticides, make crops less susceptible to climatic variations, and generate more consistent harvests. The growing number of startups that grow food indoors, where growth conditions can be more controlled, may hold part of the answer. By 2026, it is anticipated that the market for indoor farming technologies would grow to $24.8 billion. Compared to traditional agricultural techniques, yields from indoor farming are often substantially higher as crops can be grown all year round, regardless of the external weather conditions.In this edition of Agri Business Review APAC, we present some of the most promising indoor farming companies in APAC. The issue features thought leadership articles from Graham Wilkinson, Senior Director of Agriculture, Arla Foods, Enrique Leon, North America Operations Director at American Sugar Refining Inc., William Barbier, Head of Research & Development, Florensis, and Lea Godin, Performance & Quality Manager for HM Clause.
