How to grow food without light
The goal is to eventually engineer plants that can fully rely on acetate as fuel, which could lead to a massive reduction in agricultural land use — land that can instead be put toward conservation and decarbonization.
GLASE Launches E-GROW Certification to Cultivate Youth Interest in AgTech and CEA
In partnership with seven project collaborators and ten middle and high schools across four U.S. states, E-GROW will launch a certificate program, preparing the next generation for careers in the rapidly evolving field of CEA.
How to Optimize Light Spectrums for Each Stage of Plant Growth
As your plants transition into the vegetative stage, they require more energy to support the rapid growth of leaves and stems. This stage benefits from a mix of blue and red light, with a higher proportion of blue to red (around a 60:40 ratio).
