Dramatic evolution in the global diet, cuisine and consumer
preferences will, over coming decades, change the foods we
eat more profoundly than at any time in history.
Driven by emerging scarcities of land, water, oil, nutrients, fish
and extinction of the climate that gave rise to agriculture, our
diet and food systems are poised to change profoundly.
Urban hydroponic, aquaponic and aquaculture systems will be
at the heart of the sustainable production revolution that will
characterise The Age of Food.

International Guest Speaker
Herman Eijkelboom
1) Disease Control
2) Drip irrigation
1) Some growers have a positive effect using a certain
pesticide while other growers are not able to get the same
level of control. The effect can depend on different factors
like; time of the day, concentration, method of application and
the pH of the spray. Recognising spray damage and reducing
the risk thereof will be also be discussed in the conference
lecture.
2) Dutch growers are tending to steer their crops to be more
generative by keeping the media drier. However irregularity
in the amount of water will lead to reduced production if
plants do not get enough. Consistency depends on not only
the technical equipment but also on the presence of clogging.
Check first if the cause of clogging is organic or inorganic
and then there are several options to prevent clogging of the
system which will be detailed in the conference lecture.
Every grower wants a fast crop rotation and a clean
greenhouse to start the next crop, with less labour costs.
And as greenhouses get bigger and taller, cleaning them gets
more time consuming, so you need some good techniques.
Sjef Smits is an internationally acclaimed greenhouse
consultant who will be sharing several methods of cleaning,
in combination with automation, which he has garnered
across many continents.

Special Guest Speaker
Levi Nupponen - Agroecology
The Biological Revolution:
Realisation of commercially
viable combined aquaculture
and horticulture
With a career in high tech glasshouses and corporate
agribusiness it became apparent to Levi that consumers,
retailers, growers and investors alike all desire the development
of commercially viable environmentally attuned production
technologies, an example being the recent boom interest
in aquaponics.
The challenge is the ability to turn dreams and inspiration to
commercial realities. He will share some insights based on
the experience of transitioning the ideology of aquaponics
into a commercially viable reality - a production system with
zero effluent aquaculture and intensive organic horticultural
production.
Join other greenhouse & hydroponic growers who learn from the best
