BrightBox is a state-of-the-art research and training center for for daylight-free multi-layer cultivation. All factors that determine the growth of a plant can be controlled in the BrightBox.
Researchers predict that 70% more food will be needed in 2050 than what we need now. Because the world's population will reach 9 billion, and because global prosperity is rising and people are eating more and differently. So new, efficient production methods are needed.
