With the rising risks of climate change, resource depletion, and diminishing arable lands due to urbanization, providing enough food to feed the growing global population is becoming a challenge for traditional agriculture. Meanwhile, consumer demand for healthy and organic produce is increasing, making agribusinesses look for sustainable new ways to meet the food supply needs of a rapidly changing world.<\/p>\n
Modern vertical agriculture allows growers to remove dependence on natural factors by creating and managing the farm\u2019s microclimate. Being at the forefront of indoor farming innovation, our client, a global leader in intelligent lighting, empowers agribusinesses with smart horticultural technologies that enable resource-efficient smart vertical farming with controlled environments. These farms can be built in cities close to consumers, helping farmers cut transportation times and prevent food from spoiling.<\/p>\n
Together with Intellias, our client has built a novel sensor-based lighting system for precise crop condition monitoring, uniform illumination, and optimized plant growth in enclosed environments. Today, the company is using the system in collaboration with NASA, researching plant cultivation and food production in space conditions to provide mission crews with fresh produce.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t
