We are thrilled to announce that Australian Urban Growers has been invited to participate, present, and pitch at the Queensland ClimateTech Showcase hosted by Climate Salad.
Event Details: 24 July 2024 at State Library of Queensland
This event, a significant platform in the climate tech sector, is a fantastic opportunity to highlight our innovative contributions to the vertical farming sector and showcase how our solutions align with the broader climate landscape.
Vertical Farming: A Key Player in the Climatetech Sector
Vertical farming is integral to the climate tech sector, offering sustainable solutions to some of the most pressing environmental challenges. By utilising vertical farming techniques, we can significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional agriculture. Here’s how vertical farming contributes to climate tech:
- Resource Efficiency: Vertical farms use up to 95% less water than conventional farming methods. Recycling water and nutrients allows us to grow crops in a controlled environment with minimal waste.
- Reduced Land Use: Vertical farming provides a viable solution as urban areas expand and arable land becomes scarce. Growing crops in vertically stacked layers maximises space usage and can produce food in urban environments, reducing the need for transportation and lowering emissions.
- Energy Optimisation: Advanced technologies in vertical farming, such as LED lighting and automation, optimise energy use. These innovations enable year-round crop production, regardless of external weather conditions, ensuring a consistent food supply with lower energy consumption.
- Minimised Pesticide Use: Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) in vertical farms reduces the need for chemical pesticides, leading to healthier produce and less impact on surrounding ecosystems.
- Climate Resilience: Vertical farms are less susceptible to climate-related disruptions like droughts, floods, and extreme weather events. This resilience ensures a stable food supply even in the face of climate change.
Our Unwavering Commitment to Sustainable Innovation
At Australian Urban Growers, our mission is to accelerate the growth of the vertical farming sector in Australia and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. We are dedicated to developing scalable, simple-to-deploy vertical farming solutions that are low-cost and have a low barrier to entry. By providing the methods and education required to engage others in this sector, we aim to foster a community of innovators dedicated to sustainable agriculture.
We invite you to join us at the ClimateTech Showcase. This event provides a platform to connect with like-minded individuals and organisations committed to addressing climate change through technology. We look forward to engaging with you, exchanging ideas, and exploring potential collaborations to further our mission.
