OptimIA’s Top 5 Indoor Ag Science Café Videos of 2023
January 12, 2024 The OptimIA project is a multi-state university research and Extension collaboration among controlled-environment plant physiologists, agricultural engineers, and agricultural economists. Its long-term goals are to help develop indoor farming (vertical, warehouse, and container farming) as a specialty-crop segment of agriculture in the U.S.; to increase the sustainability, viability, and profitability of this rapidly emerging sector; and to provide the knowledge necessary to produce leafy greens locally that have higher quality attributes.
One of the resources offered by OptimIA is the Indoor Ag Science Café, a series of educational videos. The top 5 Indoor Ag Science Café videos of 2023 were:
- #53 – Growing Culinary Herbs under Controlled Environments
- #48 – Hydroponic Spinach
- #49 – Growing leafy greens with a low-pH hydroponic solution for root-rot disease management
- #55 – Vertical (Indoor) Farming Strawberry and Fruit Crops
- #54 – Hydroponic Spinach Production Systems and Methods in Japan
All of these videos, and others, can be viewed here.
