Sugar beet cultivated indoors using controlled environment agriculture. This creates standardise growing conditions optimising yields and reducing climate impacts.
About
The Sustainable Food Science and Technologies Research Group. is serving new food systems through integrating novel green technologies into the product of plants, fungi and natural products.
Key Benefits
Cultivating sugar beet using indoor CEA, will allow for optimisation of crop yields, whilst simultaneously reducing operational costs of production. It also helps with mitigating climate change by elevating the carbon impact of traditional open-field agriculture. Furthermore, it mitigates risk in variable crop production due to extreme weather events.
Applications
Develop this exclusively for the company, and build in scale sustainable to take on the sugar feedstock needs in a proportional manner.
