Plants on shelfs under colorful led lights.

Type: Online Virtual Talk, Demo, Tour, or Performance

Description:
The ability to grow high-quality, local, and fresh food in Michigan year-round exists, and not only in greenhouses! The OptimIA research team will highlight how their research is enhancing year-round production and profitability in vertical farms, warehouses and shipping containers. With the use of LEDs, CO2, and temperature controls they are enhancing growth, quality, color, shelf life, nutrition, and even the flavor of some of your not-so-favorite greens! Join us to see what the future of indoor, soilless growing has in store for you as we teach you how to grow food in the comfort of your own home.
