Research on Aeroponic and Hydroponic systems are being conducted in collaboration with Dashfrm (Rovereto, Italy). Current experimentations focus on the development and definition of optimal aeroponic and hydroponic systems for vegetable crops, herbs and spices present in the experimental vertical farm of Bologna University, AlmaVFarm. The definition of appropriate crop irrigation management protocols in indoor growing systems is being explored, along with the climate and artificial LED light control applied. Moreover, sustainability and resource use assessment is also considered, analysing the two different growing systems.
