The project aim is to use fundamental science to increase the consistency and uniformity of crop production in vertical farms. Vertical farms use stacked indoor systems, often in urban areas and using artificial lights and climate control, to produce food in a sustainable and land use efficient manner.The project will combine fundamental research into plant circadian rhythms, seasonal responses and seed biology at the John Innes Centre with experimentation in the experimental vertical farm environment at LettUs Grow. The project has the long-term goal of providing benefits to the vertical farming business whilst making new discoveries and the frontiers of knowledge of plant environmental adaptation.

该项目旨在利用基础科学提高垂直农场作物生产的一致性和均匀性。垂直农场使用堆叠的室内系统，通常在城市地区，使用人工照明和气候控制，以可持续和土地利用效率高的方式生产食物。该项目将结合联合收割机在约翰英尼斯中心对植物昼夜节律，季节反应和种子生物学的基础研究，以及在LettUs Grow实验垂直农场环境中的实验。该项目的长期目标是为垂直农业业务提供利益，同时做出新的发现和植物环境适应知识的前沿。
