Sustainable Fruit Production Operation

英国的目标是到2050年实现其碳中和目标，所有部门都已开始规划和实施战略，以实现这一目标。食品生产行业排放的温室气体约占全球温室气体排放量的26%，其中27%来自农作物生产。为了到2040年实现农业净零排放目标，农业和能源生产部门都需要转型，特别是在它们的互动和合作方面。然而，全球流行病、自然灾害和人类冲突将粮食生产置于危险之中。伦敦政治经济学院发布的一份报告概述了新冠肺炎疫情如何表明英国的粮食安全在多大程度上依赖进口，而超过80%的农民在2020年经历了利润下降。农业部门专注于通过将电气化、自动化和数字化整合到运营中并使用室内耕作来提高粮食生产过程的生产率。这将使农民能够更精细地了解和控制他们的实时作业和全年收割作物，因为这不是一个天气或季节相关的过程。然而，这需要更多的能源来有效地支持运营，因此增加了运营能源成本。到2025年，预计全球农业技术部门的价值将超过1360亿GB。这包括自主农场设备市场的超过1290亿GB和精密农业市场的超过70亿GB。可持续水果生产运营(SFPO)项目旨在利用全面控制的环境农业(TCEA)促进室内农业，并开发一种整合到食品生产运营中的能源系统，以提供零碳产品。该技术确保以可承受的价格从可再生资源中提供所需的电力，以减少运营成本，并提供具有竞争力的产品，成为消费市场的主流供应商。这种能源管理系统有可能被安装在世界各地的地点，作为粮食生产创新转型的关键部分，在以一种应对气候变化相关挑战的方式养活世界人口方面产生积极影响。

The United Kingdom aims to reach its carbon neutral target by 2050, and all sectors have started planning and implementing strategies to achieve this goal. The food production industry is responsible for approximately 26% of global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, of which 27% result from crop production. To achieve the industry's net-zero emission target for agriculture by 2040, a transformation is required in both the farming and energy production sectors, and especially in their interaction and collaboration.However, global pandemics, natural disasters and human conflicts put food production at risk. A report published by the London School of Economics outlines how COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated how deeply the UK's food security is dependent on import, while more than 80% of farmers experienced profits fall in 2020\.The farming sector is focused on increasing the productivity of food production processes by integrating electrification, automation and digitisation into operations and using indoor farming. This will enable farmers to have more granular visibility and control over their operation in real-time and harvest crops year-round as it is not a weather or season dependent process. However, this requires more energy to support the operation effectively and hence, increases the operations energy cost.By 2025, it is anticipated that the agricultural technology sector will be worth more than £136 billion globally. This includes over £129 billion in the Autonomous Farm Equipment Market and over £7 billion in the Precision Farming Market.The Sustainable Fruit Production Operation (SFPO) project aims to promote indoor farming using Total Controlled Environment Agriculture (TCEA) and develop an energy system which integrates into food production operations to deliver zero-carbon products. The technology ensures the required power is supplied from renewable resources at an affordable price in order to reduce OpEx and provide products with competitive prices to become a mainstream supplier to the consumer market.Such an energy management system has the potential to be installed in sites around the world as a key part of an innovative transformation of food production, with positive consequences in feeding the world's population in a way that also addresses challenges associated with climate change.
