This project sets out to solve grower challenges of competing on cost with imported fresh produce and achieving net zero by demonstrating the feasibility of LettUs Grow's patent-pending Advanced Aeroponic system in large scale commercial greenhouses.LettUs Grow has demonstrated that their patent-pending, Advanced Aeroponic technology can increase growth rate and annual yields of fresh produce by between 20 and 200% compared to the incumbent Hydroponic technology used today. In a vertical farm this can increase the lifetime Return on Investment by up to 3x.Advanced Aeroponics is uniquely compatible with large scale greenhouse systems in a way the current state-of-the-art is not, unlocking global adoption of a fundamentally more efficient growing technique.The project will include the design and prototype manufacture of an Advanced Aeroponic rolling bench system. This system will be used for two trials set out to demonstrate productivity increase, flexibility of growing and the improved resource efficiency of Advanced Aeroponics (energy, labour, water, nutrients etc.). The trials will be as follows:* **Systems integration and performance trials:** Operated by CHAP at Stockbridge Technology Centre (STC) to demonstrate comparative performance by an independent 3rd party to LettUs Grow. (TRL 6)* **Commercial growth trials:** Operated by an independent grower to provide 'real-world' feedback on system performance, benefits and the ability to solve key grower challenges.The outcomes of development and trials will be published and presented across digital media channels, academic publications and industry specific conferences. The consortium will also host site visits for key external stakeholders.If you would like to learn more about the Advanced Aeroponic technology in this project then please get in contact through [**www.LettUsGrow.com**][0][0]: http://www.lettusgrow.com

该项目旨在解决种植者与进口新鲜农产品竞争成本的挑战，并通过展示LettUs Grow正在申请专利的先进气培系统在大型商业温室中的可行性，实现净零排放。LettUs Grow已经证明，与目前使用的现有水培技术相比，他们正在申请专利的先进气培技术可以将生长率和新鲜农产品的年产量提高20%至200%。在垂直农场中，这可以将终身投资回报率提高3倍。先进的空气栽培技术与大型温室系统的独特兼容性是目前最先进的技术所不能比拟的，它开启了一种从根本上更有效的种植技术的全球采用。该项目将包括设计和制造一个先进的空气栽培滚动工作台系统的原型。该系统将用于两项试验，旨在展示先进空气栽培技术的生产力提高、生长灵活性和资源效率的提高（能源、劳动力、水、养分等）。试验将如下：** *系统集成和性能试验：**由Stockbridge技术中心（STC）的CHAP操作，以展示LettUs Grow的独立第三方的比较性能。（TRL 6）* **商业生长试验：**由独立种植者操作，提供关于系统性能、效益和解决关键种植者挑战的能力的“真实”反馈。开发和试验的结果将在数字媒体渠道、学术出版物和行业特定会议上公布和展示。该联盟还将为关键的外部利益相关者举办实地考察。如果您想了解更多关于这个项目中的先进空气栽培技术，请通过[**www.LettUsGrow.com**][0][0]: http://www.lettusgrow.com与我们联系
