Indoor farming enables year-round food production but its reliance on artificial lighting significantly increases energy consumption, peak load charges, and energy costs for growers. Recent studies indicate that plants are able to tolerate…
Trap cropping is a pest management strategy where a grower plants an attractive "trap crop" alongside the primary crop to divert pests away from it. We propose a simple framework for optimizing the proportion of a grower's field or…
Agrivoltaic systems represent a key technology for reaching sustainable development goals reducing the completion of land for food versus land for energy. Moreover, agrivoltaic systems are at the centre of the nexus between electricity…
