Feed & Food Show 2026: exploring the future of indoor agriculture

Feed & Food Show will return from 10 to 13 November 2026 in Hanover, Germany, as part of EuroTier, bringing fresh attention to the future of agriculture and food systems.

Organised by the DLG, this global B2B platform is designed to present new ideas and practical solutions in indoor production. With a strong focus on Controlled Environment Agriculture, the event creates space for meaningful discussion, innovation, and collaboration across sectors.

Set within one of the world’s leading trade fairs for livestock and farming, the show works alongside EuroTier and EnergyDecentral to support modern agri food systems. It offers a well structured technical programme built around four theme days, each exploring a key area of indoor farming while encouraging knowledge sharing and industry connections.

The opening day highlights mushroom production and its growing role as a scalable indoor system. From cultivation techniques to market opportunities, the sessions look closely at how mushrooms can be produced efficiently. Attention is given to climate control, automation, and the use of modern systems such as containers and modular farms, all of which help improve productivity and stability.

The second day turns to aquaculture, focusing on fish, shrimp, and algae production under controlled conditions. It presents how recirculating systems and advanced technologies make production more efficient and sustainable. A key feature is the “Salmon Story by Fjord & Farm”, which offers insight into the development of indoor fish farming. The programme also explores aquaponics and ends with an engaging “Aquatic Happy Hour”.

Insects take centre stage on the third day, showing their potential as a reliable protein source. Discussions cover feeding strategies, market opportunities, and the European regulatory environment. Visitors can learn how insect production is moving from research into real business applications.

The final day focuses on “retail & innovation”, examining how new food products can succeed in the market. It looks at consumer behaviour, pricing, and the role of retailers in supporting sustainable choices.

Overall, the event provides a clear view of how indoor farming is shaping the future of food production.
