How does a plant react in an indoor farm?
During the seminar on March 28 the panel discusses the relation between plants and technology. The basis of this discussion are the insights of the Fieldlab Vertical Farming research. This research project was launched in January 2020 in the Netherlands and takes place at several locations in the province of South-Holland. The Netherlands has a leading position when it comes to horticulture as well as indoor farming. To maintain this leading position the Fieldlab Vertical Farming was launched. After two years of ongoing research the first results can be discussed.
