研究目的
Investigating the benefits and challenges of using LED technology in horticulture, particularly in vertical farming, to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and enable the production of custom-designed produce.
研究成果
LED technology has the potential to revolutionize horticulture by enabling more efficient, sustainable, and customizable plant growth. However, widespread adoption is currently hindered by high costs and economic challenges. Advances in technology and reductions in cost are expected to make LEDs more accessible in the next 5-10 years.
研究不足
The high initial cost of LED technology and the current lack of economic viability for growing low-value crops under LEDs are significant limitations. Additionally, there is a shortage of skilled workers to build and operate vertical farms.
