Organised by the German Agricultural Society (DLG), this year's Inhouse-Farming - Feed & Food Show is scheduled to take place from 12-15 November in Hanover, Germany with 13 November marked as the Aquaculture Theme Day 

The show invites attendees to learn more about fish, crustaceans, algae and other aquaculture topics. Exhibitors will showcase their technologies, ranging from turnkey solutions to specialised feeding and farming equipment. On 13 November, information on aquaculture will be discussed and exchanged in Hall 24. System builders and their producers will provide information about their experiences on the farms and international experts will report on how fish and vegetables thrive together in aquaponics systems.

Technological solutions for the innovative indoor production of feed and food have now been developed and are under evaluation. Ulrich Averberg from the German Algae Co-operative, along with other experts on indoor farming products will be discussing the question with representatives from the retail sector: "How can we escape the marketing desert?" There is a need for action and optimisation in marketing. The economic success of the new system depends on the development of new markets and successful links to international trade, "otherwise the others will take the business," says Averberg.

The various facets of food and feed production in closed inhouse systems enable the creation of new material cycles and the utilisation of nutrient and energy flows, which will be demonstrated and discussed in Hanover. Moreover, algae and insects as feed additives will also be discussed, as will nutrient solutions and CO2 binding in algae farms, packaging material from crustacean moults and insect growth on waste materials.
