Focus on the agricultural and food sectors
After its successful premiere in 2023, the “Inhouse Farming – Feed & Food Show” will open its doors for the second time this year from November 12th to 15th in Hanover. The B2B meeting point of the DLG (German Agricultural Society) takes place as part of EuroTier, the world's leading trade fair for professional animal husbandry and livestock management. Closely linked to agricultural practice, “Inhouse Farming 2024” offers technical information, innovations and business – from feed to food. The focus is on alternative proteins. In this way, it optimally complements the world's leading trade fair EuroTier and EnergyDecentral, which also takes place in parallel, the internationally leading platform for decentralized energy supply, with new perspectives and business models for the entire value chain. The registration phase for exhibitors has started.
Global food security through new agricultural production systems is one of the central tasks of the future. In the context of climate change, resource and production efficiency as well as advancing digitalization, intelligent strategies for sustainable, technology-based food production are required. As population growth continues, global protein demand will double by 2050, according to estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Alternative protein sources for the agricultural and food industries are in demand and are a central topic at the “Inhouse Farming – Feed & Food Show 2024”. Because innovative and modern players from the agriculture and food industry play a pioneering role - from the raw material supplier to the end customer. DLG's new B2B platform offers a comprehensive view of market activity and developments in plant-based, fermented and cultivated proteins and products for human and animal nutrition.
The use of state-of-the-art biotechnology now allows scalable and sustainable protein production of the highest quality. In addition to bioreactors for fungi and microalgae, relevant technologies relating to indoor farming, insect farming, cellular farming as well as aquaculture and aquaponics will also be presented at “Inhouse Farming 2024”. Future-oriented energy concepts are also an important topic - for exhibitors and in the accompanying specialist program, which again relies heavily on interaction and deepens the diverse synergies with EnergyDecentral. Many of the projects discussed in Hanover from November 12th to 15th combine the production of alternative proteins with the integrated use of all side streams to produce additional raw materials. The goal: to create closed, cost-efficient and resource-saving cycles along the value chain. The international trade audience's need for information about these future topics is enormous, as the premiere of "Inhouse Farming" last year impressively demonstrated.
New impulses for transformation of the value chain
The transformation of the agriculture and food industry is in full swing. “What actors in the value chain need today is expertise that enables the development of a sustainable version of future food systems for their own company. In the spirit of forward-looking management, a wide variety of options should be considered,” says Prof. Dr. Nils Borchard, Head of Research and Innovation at the DLG Agriculture Center. Solutions that are future-proof only work as integrated systems. “Inhouse Farming 2024” brings together players from the indoor farming sector, supports the expansion of networks and is a source of inspiration for sustainable business models in the value chain. Exhibitors at “Inhouse Farming 2024” also benefit from EuroTier’s international expert audience as well as the great media interest in future food systems and technologies that help launch innovations.

In the coming years, in-vitro meat will displace conventionally produced schnitzels, burgers, sausages, etc. from supermarket shelves. At least that's what futurologist Nick Lin-Hi's scenario looks like. How is the German agriculture and food industry prepared for this? What does this development mean for the classic form of animal husbandry and what opportunities does it create for animal owners?
