Ostara, LettUs Grow, Fotenix, Vertically Urban, Rothamsted Research and UK Agri-Tech Centre are inviting stakeholders to join them on the day to learn more about the project and get a first-hand look at the ACDC system in action.
- Introduction to the project and its outcomes
- Tour of the demonstration trial in UKATC's Vertical Farm Demonstrator
In response to UK food security challenges, this Innovate UK and BBSRC funded collaborative project aimed to understand the interaction of yield and resource-inputs of the chosen test crop, spinach, and develop greener production recipes.
In addition to advancing the capabilities of all technologies, integration of the control system, phenotyping platform and lighting into one cohesive whole has been a key focus of the project.
Key reasons to attend:
- Find out how advanced responsive control of integrated spectral imaging, tuneable lights and energy management systems is using plant health status to develop greener production recipes.
- Hear how those recipes can be adapted using plant responses to reduce production energy demand.
- See the integrated technology platform in action in UK Agri-Tech Centre’s Vertical Farm Demonstrator.
