LEDs in applications outside of illumination has underscored the excitement and growth of the solid-state lighting industry in the last couple of years as the boom of LED lighting in horticulture applications as well as in areas of disinfection have taken off as a response to the current sociopolitical and environmental conditions.
Super storm like the one that recently devastated Pakistan, and Hurricane Fiona and Super Typhoon Noru that are unleashing its devastative force on Canada and the Philippines respectively are reminders of how volatile the world we live in.
In the wake of these events as well as the recent pandemic, the question arises: How we are safeguarding livelihoods, especially thru ensuring food security?
The impact of light on plant development has been subjected to extensive studies. There is an immediate need to translate these studies into adaptable and commercially viable technologies. Artificial lighting is considered as a solution that can potentially provide heathy and nutritious future food to the world which will aid the shift towards sustainable future food farming using high tech methods.
