This week\u2019s UH<\/abbr> News<\/em> Image of the Week is from University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa’s Kent Kobayashi<\/strong>, associate horticulturist in the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kobayashi shared “Artificial lighting with light-emitting diodes (LED<\/abbr>s) to hydroponically grow vegetable crops indoors in our laboratory. Controlled environment agriculture (indoor farming, vertical farming, plant factories) can help reduce the amount of water, fertilizers, and pesticides used in growing food crops more efficiently. Controlled environment agriculture can help make Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> more food self-sufficient, ensure sustainable food production, and increase food security.”<\/p>\n
