项目摘要

The College of New Caledonia and QuantoTech Solutions Ltd. are continuing their applied research partnership to develop and commercialize an industrial-scale hydroponics system. The Cubic Grow System is housed in a standard shipping container and will allow enterprising growers and communities in northern Canada to produce their own food year-round. This study will be conducted at CNC Quesnel Campus and proposes innovative approaches in the areas of hydroponics, LED lighting, remote crop monitoring and energy efficiency. This project has the following objectives: (i) assist a Canadian technology company conduct applied research that will help commercialize a new technology for growing food in cold climates, (ii) introduce horticulture technology into communities across northern Canada that will provide new entrepreneurial opportunities, support local food markets, and increase community health indicators by increasing access to locally grown, fresh food, even in winter, and (iii) develop advanced horticulture and applied research skills in College students studying horticulture and business. Students in CNC's Horticulture, Marketing and Business programs will participate in this project and will acquire valuable skills related to best practices and innovation in profitable hydroponic greenhouse growing and marketing. These skills will help our students successfully access the emerging greenhouse, hydroponics, and horticulture job markets across Canada upon completion of the project.

新喀里多尼亚学院和QuantoTech Solutions Ltd.正在继续开展应用研究伙伴关系，以开发工业规模的水培系统并将其商业化。立方体生长系统是安置在一个标准的集装箱，将允许进取的种植者和社区在加拿大北方生产自己的粮食全年。这项研究将在CNC Quesnel校区进行，并在水培，LED照明，远程作物监测和能源效率领域提出创新方法。该项目的目标如下：（i）协助一家加拿大技术公司进行应用研究，以帮助将一种在寒冷气候下种植粮食的新技术商业化，（ii）将园艺技术引入加拿大北方各社区，这将提供新的创业机会，支持当地粮食市场，并通过增加获得当地种植的新鲜粮食的机会，提高社区健康指标，即使在冬季也是如此，及（iii）培养修读园艺及商业的大学生在园艺及应用研究方面的先进技能。 CNC园艺，营销和商业课程的学生将参与该项目，并将获得与盈利的水培温室种植和营销的最佳实践和创新相关的宝贵技能。这些技能将帮助我们的学生成功地进入新兴的温室，水培和园艺就业市场在整个加拿大完成项目后。
