Design and management of globally-networked plant factories: commercial application and future opportunities

Code: 9781801469524
Viviana Correa Galvis, Pádraic J. Flood and Pavlos Kalaitzoglou, Infarm - Indoor Urban Farming B.V., The Netherlands

Chapter synopsis:

Plant production in plant factories with artificial lighting (PFAL) can be done continuously for similar crops regardless of location and climate, allowing interconnectivity of production worldwide. A combination of a PFAL modular system with data acquisition and analysis tools has the potential to improve crop production in PFALs. Using real time monitoring and AI driven adjustment of the growing environment can improve the resource use efficiency of PFALs worldwide. In this chapter we describe the main elements required to successfully build a global network of PFALs based on the experience of Infarm, a company that built the first world‘s cloud connected PFAL network.
