COVER STORY
Understanding Your Environment
Ricardo Hernández & Xiaonan Shi
Whether it’s a greenhouse or vertical farm, it’s vital to understand how multiple factors interact to create your growing environment.

Bringing Out the Best in a Crop
Jennifer Polanz

Ashley Canaday, Kathryn Gathers, Dan Greco, Lydia Owens & James Faust

Nathan Kelly & Erik S. Runkle
This is the second article in a four-part series highlighting Michigan State University’s Optimizing Indoor Agriculture (OptimIA) research on end-of-production lighting and temperature reduction strategies to improve red-leaf lettuce foliage color and other quality attributes.
