Research

In closed cultivation systems with LED lighting or LED applications in greenhouses it is possible to control virtually all factors. Thus, one can steer towards a constant climate that is equally distributed among multiple cultivation layers. During the development of a closed cultivation system, the crop is regarded as the base: the climate cell is built around the crop. By doing so, the optimum climate for that crop can be created. This is regulated by a self-developed climate computer. In order to make this combination a success, Light4Food employs technical engineers, software engineers and plant experts.

Light4Food has test facilities in which research on the effects of LED lighting on crops and climate can be conducted. So far there have been numerous enquiries into various leaf crops, herbs and propagation material for pot plants. Besides conducting its own research activities, Light4Food also provides cultivation assistance for clients.
