JPFA invites you to learn about client-centric plant factories

The JPFA will run a new online training course in English on plant factories with artificial lighting (PFALs) on Feb. 25-March 15, 2022, which allows you to learn how large-scale PFALs in Japan ensure stable supply and quality for clients, a crucial point in business operations in such an era.

The science-based practical course has special content which includes detailed explanations, provided with examples, about what an expert at the operator of greenLand PFALs views as important in its operations. The explanations are given from a marketing perspective.

Another special content class, A Close Look inside a Large-Scale Commercial PFAL (808 Factory), tells you how the plant factory is operated to serve its role.

Phenomics and Potential of Phenotyping is among the special content too, along with Hands-on Technical Training on PFAL Business Management.

The coming course is offered online and not on-site due to the pandemic, but it allows participants to acquire specific and practical know-how in addition to theories and other academic knowledge.

Participants can join a live online question-and-answer session scheduled for early March to put their questions to experts.

For beginners, the course has introductory classes about PFAL principles and the basics, such as photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, light environment and plant growth, nutrient solution and hydroponic cultivation, as well as about forthcoming technologies and PFAL business management.
