longer. we don't necessarily have to take it to the market every day on. the eve definitely benefited from this. oh you know our produce used to go bad. but now we can easily keep it in here for van or 2 days. this has made a huge difference. on days when the going rate at the market is low we can store it in here and sell a produce when the reed has big. then. this bus is in family home a. roof solar panels supplied the facility with free like the city a good crop owns it and the farmers paid rent to them the firm gets a return after 2 years. the farmers learn how to regulate the temperature of the storage but.
1:36 pm
different producers have different kind of storage temperature and if they want to store it for longer duration than they need to adhere to that particular temperature and humidity range that any. and that 4 door based interface allows them to do the storage and they're sorting for like 34 days. which is good for all kinds of produce being stored with it as well. the phone now has toting operational cord stores in india the company charges farmers a maximum of one euro cent per day k.g. to refereed to produce the exact amount depends on how frequently do you use the facility and how much your store. 45 farmers have used the facilities so far. everyone has benefited neighboring village also wants a facility like this after looking at how much it has had offered maybe i'll get

people the majority live in cities green spaces are shrinking. how viable an option is been farming for example green houses lit by the lamps even in buildings without sunlight. any daylight bulbs provide illumination by day and night and the plants compete harvested at any time of the year. becoming standard lighting solutions in greenhouses they have long been undergoing testing here in the netherlands in the laboratory of a signify it's europe's biggest lighting manufacturer and a spinoff of dutch technology giant philips so far the company has equipped around $1000.00 greenhouses with the lighting systems we have $4.00 inside so it's red it's blue it's why then it's far out ahead of florida is typically pretty are known to us because it's outside of our i sense david the girth.

indoor farming is a market with huge potential. to guarantee a predictable and controllable harvests. so what you see over here is a dynamic light fixture that can change in color and by changing the color during the trial or just before the end of just before harvesting we can for example influence the bricks value of. the sweetness of the strawberry but also make it a little bit more hardy or let's say sure that it's better to transport. the company calculates the particular light fixture its customers need and savings can be achieved by just using red and blue light which produces the magenta color here . the mix depends on the plants and the ambient light greenhouses in siberia for example has less sunlight than those in spain. market is growing super

fast and if you look at the different reports that are out in the market you see a real trend that are becoming more interesting also it's not because they don't make money that companies like are growing fast in russia would by $25.00 factors and $25.00 factors it's around 400 kilometers of the lights and that was the biggest project we did to date. another customer that has bought the knighting systems is the dutch tomato farm is in pater's it's greenhouses measure 16 hectares an area amounting to something like 20 soccer pitches. the crops are aluminum 2 by magenta l.e.d. light from below and from above by high intensity high pressure sodium h.p.'s lamps the company has invested millions the tomato vines grow to an amazing height of 6 metres the growers need lifts to reach the tops using the l.e.d. lights the company can achieve larger and more constant harvests than without the

lighting. we have the positioning of the in the middle of the crop. research. the idea must be about 80 centimeters to one metre. below the top of the plant because the top of the plant is infected by the b.s. lining and daylight. and one meter below the effect of the daylight. is gone. tomatoes are perishable they can't be easily transported in container ships from far away countries. but they can be easily grown in greenhouses. thanks to the l.e.d. lights they can harvest more 20 tons per week even in the middle of winter.
1:42 pm
this is very sweet. and what's important is that the taste. stays in your mouth for a longer time so it's not only the place is gone immediately. you get a certain bite of the tomato. of course lighting the plants all year round uses up lots of energy as does the heating via the pipes that run between the plants on the floor to generate it the company maintains a gas fired power plant and that highlights a major disadvantage of this kind of farming the energy cost of producing artificial sunlight outdoor farmers get the sun for free. we often notice that on the one hand there is an abundance of food thanks to the many innovations in the agricultural sector but on the other hand medians of people
