New VTT innovations boost food production – plant “breathalyzer” wins research pitching at Slush
Climate change, population growth and urbanisation cause challenges to food production. In the future, it must be possible to produce increasing amounts of food with smaller resources. VTT has developed two innovations that respond to these challenges: one – winner of this year’s research pithing competition at Slush – enhances growth conditions particularly in vertical farming, and the other provides better protection from heat than the present solutions.Monitoring of gas molecules to improve crops VTT’s award winning innovation focuses on the optimisation of growth conditions in
