"The collaboration with Grodan brought outstanding results, indicating the potential of our joint forces to transform commercial strawberry production. Our collective aim is to generate knowledge on sustainable, efficient, and high-tech practices that will not only meet current market demands but also set new benchmarks for the future of commercial strawberry production." says Gert-Jan Goes, Horticulture Service Specialist at Fluence. "The combination of the irrigation and climate management and our advanced LED technology has not only met but exceeded our expectations, showcasing the potential to shift from traditional growing practices to innovative and high-tech.”
“This experience not only confirms our goal to push the boundaries of what's possible but also proves that controlled environment agriculture can improve and revolutionise the way we grow strawberries.” adds Thomas Peters.
As part of our ongoing research collaboration, Grodan and Fluence are planning more joined activities to share knowledge and information about the approaches, challenges and successes experienced in the high-tech strawberry production trial.
