Summary – Todays greenhouse technology and research

There is an unmet need in Sweden to present the current research status concerning greenhouse technology. This need is unmet both in the university world as well as in the institutional and business environment. Today in Sweden, there is a lack of a review of what is being done and of what has been done. A general aim of the project is to make survey focusing on greenhouse technology. The main focus is technology for climatization (moisture, humidity control, dehumidification), technology for lighting, technology for irrigation, and technology for internal transports and mechanization.

The project is funded by Partnerskap Alnarp, Tillväxt Trädgård

Duration of the project: 2013-2014
