DREAM

Started in 2022, in 5-years we aim to introduce innovation in lighting, scientific instruments, and data processing to foster precision agriculture in optimized and controlled environments such as greenhouses, vertical farms, and indoor gardens... Dynamically modelling the light acclimation of photosynthetic organisms will be used to optimise plant growth. Thus, we will exploit models to tailor modulated illuminations, which optimize the photon budget for driving photosynthesis. Our aim is to evaluate up to what level time-modulated illuminations can enhance the lighting efficiency in controlled environments.
