Indoor Farming Technology
Indoor farming lets us grow more in less space, closer to cities, with far less water. Our research tunes the growing environment, from vapor pressure deficit to spectral light and nutrients, using affordable, open hardware.
What we do
- Closed-loop climate control (temperature, humidity, VPD)
- Plant-factory and greenhouse production systems
- Hyperspectral and non-destructive plant monitoring
- Microgreens and high-value crop trials
Why it matters
- Higher growth rates and yields
- Dramatic water savings
- Year-round, climate-independent production
