Another great example of research supporting industry addressing a challenge. Having access to the Productivity & Innovation Voucher funding from @InvestNS_ is essential. Thank you for your continued support. It is a great tool for us, connecting faculty with industry.
Garden tower trials for Urban Lighthouse Farm are underway to test new 3D printed baskets that will fit into their facility's hydroponic system. We are growing tasty leafy greens - arugula, basil, and spring mix! Thank you @InvestNS_ for providing the PnI Voucher funding.
