'GROWING IN SPACE' PANEL TOUCHES DOWN AT MAY 2020 EDITION OF INDOOR AG-CON LAS VEGAS

Dr. Joel Cuello will moderate "Growing In Space With Help From Industry, Academia and Government," on Wednesday, May 20 during Indoor Ag-Con Las Vegas.

Ahead of his panel, Cuello has shared a blog post observing that while the world’s space programs were instrumental in spinning off vertical farming, today’s vertical farming industry will likely enable NASA - and other space programs - to realize their future food production systems on the Moon, Mars and beyond.
As Cuello writes, "Just as Elon Musk’s Space X, Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin and Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic have partnered with NASA to innovate on and advance space transportation, it is highly likely that partnerships with NASA for the design and operation of its future Lunar and Martian space farms will be brokered with the likes of AeroFarms, Plenty, Bowery Farming, CropOne Holdings, Gotham Greens, 80 Acres Farms, BrightFarms, AEssense, Seven Steps to Heaven and/or other indoor farming companies, some of which have yet to be formed."
