This is second edition of AquaFarm, the International conference and exhibition event. A B2B event dedicated to aquaculture, algae culture, vertical farming and sustainable fishing. It s happening on 15 and 16 February 2018 at the Exhibition Center of Pordenone (Italy).

The event, organized by Pordenone Fiere with the support of national and local institutions, is aimed at a professional audience, and over two days it will present issues in Mediterranean aquaculture and sustainable fisheries, algae cultivation and vegetable crops that rely on hydroponic, aeroponic and aquaponic techniques, known as indoor & vertical farming systems.

Joining these seemingly different themes in one single event allows companies to develop new businesses, be up to date on research and create networks and synergies. Aquaponics is just one of the examples of how aquaculture and vertical farming are very connected.
