Last Friday SCAUT hosted a round table workshop with experts and stakeholders from the agricultural and food industry to introduce and develop the concept of Underground Farming.

This innovative approach towards farming involves consideration of various technical aspects, requirements, future trends and ethical questions in the food industry. Participants openly discussed these issues and finally concluded that an underground agricultural production could offer numerous advantages with respect to environment, climate and logistics.

As a next step, a new SCAUT Technology project will be launched to develop scalable Underground Farming concepts with focus on agriculture and aqua cultures. Furthermore, the possibility of installing a prototype plant at the VSH will be considered.
