Vertical Farming 2023: research topics : Inventory of relevant topics for Fieldlab Vertical Farming

Samenvatting

Within the Vertical Farming Field Lab, an inventory has been made of the research questions that need to be worked on in the coming years to further develop Vertical Farming. This was done through a webinar and in five focus groups. The most frequently mentioned topics for research and development were extracted from the report of the results, using text analysis. These topics are: (1) market research, (2) researching and developing systems, standards, control concepts and growth recipes; (3) improving resource use efficiency, (4) climate research in a Vertical Farm and the plant response to it, and (5) the successive consequences for production and quality.
