Perfecting Crop Genetics for Indoor Vegetable Growing (Video)

During the Indoor AgTech Innovation Summit in June, Vonnie Estes of the International Fresh Produce Association will moderate a panel on the potential for genetic improvements in indoor farming. Specifically, the panelists will discuss:

• With pestilence and weather conditions removed from the equation, what is the potential for genetic improvements to transform the unit economics of indoor farming?
• Following the rapid expansion of tomato genetics for greenhouse growing, what other crops offer the greatest opportunity to be adapted for CEA?
• Using new tools, such as gene editing and AI modeling, how will the development of new, specialist seeds for greenhouses and vertical farms accelerate over the next decade?
• How will consumers react to gene-edited crops in a sector that prided itself on being better-than-organic?
