Currently running it in trials at Syan Farms, our largest build project to date, we believe that unlocking these hidden clocks in plants can accelerate the #growth of a whole head of lettuce from 8 weeks to just 5 weeks, which is a 37.5% in yield, a 14% reduction in #energy consumption in production, and saving an estimated 247 g CO2/ Kg produce in transport costs.
“We hope we can use this research collaboratively on a global scale to help feed the world and solve some of the food production issues that are facing many millions of people today.” Jennifer Bromley, Chief Research Officer.
