Purdue Today featured Cary Mitchell and Fatemeh Sheibani’s novel research on LED lighting in vertical farming was on February 21. Their research designed two simple strategies that would increase yield while reducing costs in vertical farming, the fastest growing sector in controlled environment agriculture. Other media outlets picked up the story, including Indiana Public Media.
