Reach the Vertical Farming Industry in the Right Context
Vertical Farming Blog is an independent specialist publication covering the business, economics, companies and technologies shaping controlled environment agriculture.
We do not publish a high volume of short-lived news articles. Our focus is on detailed, source-linked content that answers specific industry questions and remains useful beyond the initial publication date.
For commercial partners, this creates an opportunity to appear alongside subjects that are directly relevant to their products, services or expertise.
We do not aim to place as many advertisements as possible. Partnerships are selected according to editorial relevance, audience fit and long-term value for readers.

Partnership Opportunities
Contextual Topic Partnership
A contextual topic partnership places your company or solution within an existing article or group of articles that directly relates to your area of expertise.
Rather than interrupting readers with an unrelated advertisement, the partner module provides a relevant next step within the subject they are already researching.
A partnership may include:
- a clearly identified partner section within a relevant article;
- a short description of your product, technology or service;
- a product image or company logo;
- a direct link to a relevant product, contact or information page;
- tracked campaign links;
- placement within one article or a defined topic cluster; and
- a performance summary covering views and outbound link activity.
Suitable for: LED manufacturers, HVAC and climate-control providers, automation companies, water-treatment specialists, software platforms, equipment suppliers, nutrient companies and other specialist CEA providers.
Editorial conclusions remain independent. Partners may provide technical information and factual corrections, but they do not control the surrounding editorial analysis.
Company Showcase
A company showcase is a dedicated profile presenting your company, products, markets and contact information in a structured, accessible format.
It is intended for companies that need more than a short advertisement and want potential customers or partners to understand:
- what the company provides;
- which problems its products solve;
- which crops, facility types or markets it serves;
- where it operates;
- how its technology differs from alternative solutions; and
- how interested readers can contact the company.
Company showcases are commercially commissioned and clearly identified. They are prepared in consultation with the participating company and reviewed for factual accuracy before publication.
Suitable for: Technology suppliers, system integrators, engineering companies, consultants, input providers and specialist service companies.
Western Market Company Showcase
The Western Market Company Showcase is designed specifically for established Asian companies seeking clearer visibility in English-speaking and European markets.
Many technically capable companies are well represented on domestic websites, trade platforms and local search engines, but remain difficult for Western buyers and partners to evaluate.
The showcase provides a dedicated English-language presentation that may include:
- a company introduction written for an international audience;
- product and technology descriptions;
- application areas and target markets;
- company history and production capabilities;
- certifications and available technical documentation;
- images, videos or downloadable material;
- international contact information;
- links to relevant company pages; and
- optional inclusion in Vertical Farming Directory.
This service provides presentation and discoverability. It does not guarantee sales, distribution agreements or market entry.
Suitable for: Asian manufacturers, technology developers, equipment suppliers and CEA service providers seeking an English-language presence within a specialised industry environment.
Sponsored Reference Article
A sponsored reference article examines a substantial industry question connected to the partner’s area of expertise.
It is not published as a conventional press release or promotional company announcement. The article should provide useful information that can stand on its own, while clearly identifying the commercial partner behind it.
Possible formats include:
- technical explainers;
- application guides;
- market-entry perspectives;
- case studies;
- technology comparisons;
- operational problem-solving articles; and
- research-based industry reports.
The partner may contribute technical information, data, images and specialist commentary. Vertical Farming Blog retains responsibility for structure, disclosure and publication standards.
Suitable for: Companies with genuine technical knowledge, project experience, proprietary data or a solution to a clearly defined industry problem.
Research and Data Partnership
Organizations producing original research, surveys, benchmarks or technical data can work with Vertical Farming Blog to present their findings to a specialised CEA audience.
Possible collaborations include:
- co-published market reports;
- industry surveys;
- technology benchmarks;
- regional market analyses;
- company and investment datasets;
- operational performance studies; and
- research summaries prepared for a business audience.
Responsibilities, data ownership, attribution and commercial disclosure are agreed before publication.
Suitable for: Research institutions, industry associations, consulting companies, universities, technology platforms and organizations with proprietary industry data.
Event Promotion
Conferences, exhibitions, webinars and industry meetings can be promoted across Vertical Farming Blog and Vertical Farming Events.
Available formats may include:
- an event listing on Vertical Farming Events;
- a featured or highlighted event placement;
- a pre-event introduction;
- speaker, exhibitor or programme coverage;
- an interview with an organiser or participant;
- a post-event summary; and
- contextual links from relevant event or market articles.
Editorial coverage and paid promotion are treated separately. Purchasing an event listing does not guarantee independent editorial reporting.
Suitable for: Conference organisers, exhibition companies, associations, universities and companies hosting specialist CEA events.
Featured Directory Placement
Vertical Farming Directory provides a searchable overview of companies operating across the vertical farming and controlled environment agriculture supply chain.
A featured listing can provide additional visibility through:
- an expanded company description;
- product and service categories;
- regional and market information;
- company logo and images;
- direct website and contact links;
- priority placement within relevant categories; and
- connections from related Vertical Farming Blog articles.
Suitable for: Operators, suppliers, manufacturers, consultants, software companies, research organizations and service providers seeking to be found during supplier or company research.
Qualified Project Introductions
Companies may also register their interest in receiving enquiries from project developers, operators or organizations looking for specific technologies and services.
Where a relevant enquiry is received, participating suppliers may first receive an anonymised project summary containing information such as:
- country or target market;
- facility type and approximate scale;
- crop or production focus;
- required technology or service;
- project stage;
- expected timeframe; and
- available budget information, where provided.
A direct introduction only takes place after both sides confirm that the opportunity is relevant.
This service is subject to individual qualification and does not guarantee that a commercial agreement will result.
What We Do Not Offer
To protect readers and commercial partners, Vertical Farming Blog does not offer:
- undisclosed advertising;
- paid editorial opinions presented as independent reporting;
- guaranteed search-engine rankings;
- guaranteed sales or investment results;
- artificial traffic or engagement;
- irrelevant mass banner placements; or
- positive coverage in exchange for payment.
Every proposed partnership is reviewed before acceptance.
How a Partnership Begins
To prepare a relevant proposal, please provide:
- your company name and website;
- the product, service, event or research project you want to present;
- the countries or markets you want to reach;
- the type of customer, partner or reader you want to reach;
- the topic or industry problem most closely connected to your offer; and
- your preferred timeframe.
Based on this information, we will recommend the most appropriate format. We do not automatically recommend the largest or most expensive option.
Where appropriate, we may also prepare a visual placement example or an initial company-profile preview before a final decision is made.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing depends on the format, research requirements, placement, duration and amount of material that must be prepared.
Because the publication limits the number of commercial placements within each topic area, availability may vary.
Current audience data, suitable article placements and a clear quotation can be provided after reviewing your company and objectives.

Editorial Independence
Commercial placements are always clearly disclosed.
Advertising, sponsorship, directory participation and other commercial relationships do not provide control over independent editorial coverage.
Vertical Farming Blog may accept a company as a commercial partner while continuing to report accurately on developments affecting that company, its market or its technology.
Documented corrections and factual updates are considered independently of whether a company has a commercial relationship with the publication.
