Abstract

This project aims to enhance vertical farming through the development of innovative growing trays equipped with integrated ventilation channels that blow air vertically from beneath the plants. This vertical air supply ensures optimal air distribution, creating a microclimate at the plant level with ideal temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, leading to healthier and more efficient crop growth.
