@B2science Congratulations to Jason and his students.....
...This facility at Biosphere 2 is a Container Farm with its own unique food production applications and production of similar high quality products as a VF, and an example of modern production agriculture technology.

@B2science Congratulations to Jason...
.. (no sunshine), they are much larger with horizontal beds, stacked vertically, allowing for automated labor-saving growing procedures and much greater production capacity.

[gene giacomelli @GeneGiacomelli]

@B2science Congratulations to Jason and his students having learned hydroponics and production of quality greens....in vertically-oriented rows of plants, thus being considered a Vertical Farm. While VFs are similar with closed env, recirculating nutrient solution, electrically lighted

@UA_CEAC I'll be there!

[gene giacomelli @GeneGiacomelli]

@OrbitalGardens @spacezinnia0 Go for it!

Lane Patterson -- from Masters degree @BE_UArizona @azengineering with research @UA_CEAC to @NSF South Pole Food Growth Chamber in Antarctica and then part way to @NASAMoon @NASAMars Prototype BLSS Greenhouse to food production at Green Sense Farm. Keep Going, Lane!

[gene giacomelli @GeneGiacomelli]

what perfect timing for the current weather conditions!

[gene giacomelli @GeneGiacomelli]

Brava, Charlette. Keep going! You and Dr. Pryor make a good team, and add to the diversity of studies at UA-CEAC.

[gene giacomelli @GeneGiacomelli]

@BE_UArizona @azengineering students learn the science & art of production AND the engineering systems of controlled environments w/hands-on experiences @UA_CEAC see https://t.co/tcLWQs6OdI with @gothamgreens @hortamericas @MKacira_UACEAC Educated students empower CEA industry!

[Indoor Ag-Con @indooragcon]

Another story highlighting #indoorfarming as #Covid19 brings its challenges, benefits & opportunities to the forefront. @Forbes references the recent deal between @plenty & @Albertsons and also mentions @AeroFarms, @BoweryFarming & Sensei Ag https://t.co/47zIoGUKqc

Go Caroline much continued success and note that R&D completed at @UA_CEAC from grants of @Bayer4CropsUS to your dept @BE_UArizona that @CalsResearchUA & @UAAgLifeVetExt support

[gene giacomelli @GeneGiacomelli]

Thanks, Joel for supporting our students.

[Joel Cuello @CuelloLab]

This weekend I served as invited Mentor to participants in @UAZForge. FORGE serves as "a unique business innovation hub that combines startup acceleration, experiential student education, and corporate innovation." Below are two outstanding startup teams from the current cohort.

[gene giacomelli @GeneGiacomelli]

Then visit CEAC greenhouse, too and watch the bloom become fruit to eat.

[University of Arizona CEAC @UA_CEAC]

We love when things are bloomin’ 🌺
