natural light for photosynthesis

for growing plants. It optimizes the potential of natural light. Hence photosynthesis is improved and it cuts down the running costs for the facility. - There will be times when artificial light is required—for instance, it is impossible to grow tomatoes during a frozen winter on natural light alone—and so grow lights will be installed in order to ensure that the farm meets production goals. - Not only will the Vertical Harvest provide fresh produce for Jackson, it will also serve as an educational facility, with a ―small but functional ‗living classroom‘‖ and access for visitors to view the growing areas without contaminating the crops. Vertical Harvest recently broke ground, and growing will commence later this year.
