In Greece, off-season production of products in greenhouses is one of the most important agricultural activities, as is the case in almost all countries of the Mediterranean basin.
However, competition, both with the countries of Northern Europe and with the countries of the Mediterranean basin, is particularly acute.
At the same time, the average technological level of Greek greenhouses lags behind that of most competing countries, with the result that the presence of Greek greenhouse products in international markets is inferior to the country's natural capabilities.
Innogrowth is an innovative pilot project, through which you seek to enhance the intensity of light at selected wavelengths, which the plant uses to photosynthesize, converting for this purpose either ultraviolet light or wavelengths that are not exploited by plants.
Target: To improve the quality of the products produced and to increase the production of vegetables grown within the greenhouse
The research project "Use of solar concentrators to increase production and optimize the nutritional value of cultivated vegetables in greenhouses – Innongrowth (M16SYN2-00102)" is implemented in the framework of Action 1, MEASURE 16, of Submeasure 16.1 – 16.2 "Establishment and operation of Operational Teams of the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability" of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2014 – 2020.
