Modgarden

Challenge/Opportunity:

Modgarden is an Ontario-based company that has developed a small scale urban vertical farming unit.

Solution/Collaboration:

Modgarden has partnered with Lambton College in order to optimize this unit in production, introduce novel lighting techniques, and improve watering and nutrient addition techniques to optimize the vegetable growing process (energy and time).

This will require testing growth rates versus light wavelengths and intensity, watering and nutrient additions, and program instrumentation to control these factors.
