A JAPANESE HAS Turned a former semiconductor factory into one of the largest indoor farm ,cultivating lettuces with Led lights.This farm opened in July is churning out 10,000 lettuces head a day.
The person behind this project is plant physiologist Shegeharu Shimamura wanted to grow good vegetables biologically .The whole process is scientifically monitored .The climate control room is powered by LED fixtures that emit&n bsp; light at wavelengths - most ideal for plant growth- while also giving 'farmers' power to control the night and day cycle.
Purple lighting is used to mimic night, for example , while white lights are adjusted slowly through out he day to mimic a sun moving through the sky.
The lights were built by American multinational General Electric (GE). The aim is to achieve the best combination of photosynthesis during the day and breathing at night by controlling the lighting and the environment.
The lights gives them the ability to control temperature, humidity, and irrigation , allowing it to cut its water usage to one percent of that needed by outdoor fields , while growing lettuces two-and-a -half times faster , the expert claim.
The system allows to grow lettuces full of vitamin and minerals.The farm comprises of 17,500 LED lights on "18 cultivation racks reaching 15 level high ,"GE says.
The farm is situated in the Miyagi Prefecture (District), which was badly damaged by the powerful Earthquake and tsunami in 2011, could solve food shortages in the world
Another such farm is Green Sense Farm an Indiana based vertical farm, which produced herbs ,leafy greens and lettuces using LED lights.
