Plant Factory Using Artificial Light: Adapting to Environmental Disruption and Clues to Agricultural Innovation

Plant Factory Using Artificial Light: Adapting to Environmental Disruption and Clues to Agricultural Innovation

by Masakazu Anpo (Editor), HirokazuFukuda (Editor), TeruoWada (Editor)

Synopsis

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.

Author Bio
Dr. Masakazu Anpo is the Advisor to the President of Osaka Prefecture University, and the Director of the Research and Development Center for Plant Factory and the Ecology Research Institute of the university. He is a pioneer in the research study of photochemical reactions on solid surfaces including catalysts, having previously published books including Photochemistry on Solid Surfaces (Elsevier). Dr. Anpo has received various awards and has served on editorial boards for numerous international journals. His current research interests deal with the design of highly efficient visible-light-responsive TiO2 thin film photocatalysts and their applications as well as the design of highly active single-site transition metal oxide catalysts within the framework of zeolites and meso-porous materials as photocatalysts for safer environments. His dream is the establishment of solar chemistry as a new environmentally friendly science and technology, especially the hybridization of artificial photosynthesis and natural photosynthesis.
