Inventing a new Vertical Farming Business

What happens when the local farmers refuse to work with you? You build your own vertical farming factory.

In this episode, Anja Brachmüller, COO at Veganz, shares the company's remarkable 13-year evolution from a single supermarket to an innovative food tech powerhouse with three factories across Europe. Discover how a small cashew cheese operation transformed Veganz's business model, and learn about their groundbreaking vertical farming technology that grows protein-rich peas using just 5% of the water required for traditional agriculture - potentially solving food security challenges worldwide.

This episode is part of the series about the CIRCULAZE Summit from November 2024.
