Plant Factory Using Artificial Light: Adapting to Environmental Disruption and Clues to Agricultural Innovation features interdisciplinary scientific advances as well as cutting-edge technologies applicable to plant growth in plant factories using artificial light. The book details the implementation of photocatalytic methods that ensure the safe and sustainable production of vegetables at low cost and on a commercial scale, regardless of adverse natural or manmade influences such as global warming, climate change, pollution, or other potentially damaging circumstances. Plant Factory Using Artificial Light is an essential resource for academic and industry researchers in chemistry, chemical/mechanical/materials engineering, chemistry, agriculture, and life/environmental/food sciences concerned with plant factories.

Fukuda, Hirokazu
Dr. Hirokazu Fukuda is a professor at Osaka Prefecture University in Course of Bio-Production Engineering Systems, Department of Mechanical Engineering in Graduate School of Engineering. He is also affiliated with the Research and Development Center for Plant Factories, Osaka Prefecture University. His research has focused on the development of plant diagnosis systems, using modeling and bioinformatics to find a way to increase productivity in plant factories. His unique prediction model and bioinformatics for biological clocks have been installed in commercial plant factories. Currently, he is studying instability in plant production caused by the nonlinearity of plant environmental responses.

Wada, Teruo
Dr. Teruo Wada is an associate professor at Osaka Prefecture University in Course in Plant Production Science, Division of Applied Life Sciences in Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences. He is also affiliated with the Research and Development Center for Plant Factories, Osaka Prefecture University. His research has focused on year-round production of high-value vegetables through hydroponic systems in greenhouses and plant factories. More specifically, he studies technologies to control mineral composition in nutrient solutions and optimize growth environments for vegetables. Recently, he is working on aquaponics applied to lettuce and loach, and postharvest technologies for vegetables and fruits using hydrogen water.
