UCC project shines a light on healthier food
Growing horticultural crops under cover is a challenge, especially given current pressures to reliably produce high quality food locally with minimal environmental impact. A research project in UCC has now developed a lighting system
amounts of UV light present. And importantly for the consumer, UV encourages plants to produce more vitamins, which make our salads so much healthier to eat.”
The collaborative project, funded by Science Foundation Ireland, has evaluated the innovative, UV-LED systems in plant
