In the emerging fields of vertical farming and urban agriculture there are many events and conferences practicing lecture-based learning. We need a more integrated approach!
Agritecture com and The Association for Vertical Farming have partnered with Columbia University's Sustainability Management program, Blue Planet Environmental, and Arise International to launch a interdisciplinary workshop focused on collaboration towards design and innovation in urban agriculture and vertical farming. The day and a half-long workshop will be held the evening of December 5th and all day December 6th 2014 at Columbia University and matches professional architects, hydroponic growers, entrepreneurs, engineers, marketers, designers, and sustainability managers to develop concepts for NYC. The workshop comprises of three teams, each matched with the goal of demonstrating innovation, sustainability, and viability around integrating food production into the city.

A public presentation of the concepts will be held on the evening of December 6th. Tickets are a $15 donation to the AVF. If you are already a member of the AVF, tickets are free!
