Just Vertical is a Canadian supplier of indoor agricultural products for household growers. They provide aesthetically pleasing hydroponic systems that are self-contained, sustainable, and designed as furniture to fit your home. Their products are particularly suited for single households and our Canadian climate. Dr. L. Wood at UNBC will research a means for increasing crop yields using an innovative method of CO2 addition to Just Vertical's systems. This study will research resources to help optimize the CO2 delivery system to promote plant growth and improve crop yields. The hope is that the design efficiencies will foster greater growing opportunities for people wanting locally sourced all year round produce.This technology will provide functional all-year-round growing systems that are efficient, sustainable and affordable. Success may also mean underserved areas of Canada, such as the Territories and rural Canadian communities, will have local options for food security and affordable fresh produce not always available. This is an exciting research opportunity to validate a potential emergent technology that may help bring all year round growing conditions for fresh produce right into your living room.

Just Vertical 是一家为家庭种植者提供室内农产品的加拿大供应商。他们提供美观的水培系统，这些系统是独立的、可持续的，并且被设计成适合您家的家具。 他们的产品特别适合单身家庭和加拿大的气候。 UNBC 的 L. Wood 博士将研究一种通过在 Just Vertical 系统中添加二氧化碳的创新方法来提高作物产量的方法。 这项研究将研究资源，帮助优化二氧化碳输送系统，以促进植物生长并提高作物产量。 希望设计效率将为那些想要全年采购当地农产品的人们创造更多的种植机会。这项技术将提供高效、可持续且价格实惠的功能性全年种植系统。 成功还可能意味着加拿大服务不足的地区，例如加拿大领土和农村社区，将有当地的粮食安全选择和负担得起的新鲜农产品，但并不总是可用。这是一个令人兴奋的研究机会，可以验证一项潜在的新兴技术，该技术可能有助于将新鲜农产品的全年生长条件带入您的客厅。
