With COVID-19 reshaping our means of knowledge sharing, Agritecture turned to YouTube to launch our Travel-Free Digital Conference Series. Not only did this solution create a way to continue discussions about vertical farming, urban agriculture, and local food systems, but it did so through a series of digital interviews with industry experts from around the globe, allowing access to this essential knowledge to anyone, anywhere.
In 2020, Agritecture uploaded 1,923 minutes of content to YouTube, enabling our growing community of viewers to spend a total of 125,776 minutes learning about these crucial food system topics.
