    Have you ever visited a plant factory with artificial lighting (PFAL)? The Japan Plant Factory Association is now receiving applications for its 2021 Online Training Course on PFALs scheduled for Feb. 18-March 11. The course gives you the privilege of taking an exclusive look inside a large-scale, commercial PFAL in central Japan.

    Plant factories, or vertical farms, are grabbing the headlines lately. Learn about them on our science-based practical online course–anytime at your convenience and anywhere in the world during the course period.

    Besides introductory classes on the basics of PFALs, the course has the just mentioned PFAL virtual tour and the following other special content:

    • A lecture on phenomics and potential of phenotyping
    • Hands-on technical training on PFAL business management
    • Tailored, further explanations on previous-course lectures,
    • Operational and hygiene management, future of PFALs in COVID-19 times (2020 Workshop)

    Its introductory classes cover not only PFAL principles and the basics like photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, light environment and plant growth, nutrient solution and hydroponic cultivation, but also forthcoming technologies and PFAL business management.

    The JPFA oversees a plant factory hub on the Chiba University Kashiwanoha campus in Kashiwa, northeast of Tokyo. The nonprofit organization has shifted from on-site to online training due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    The first-rate lecturers of the coming course include Toyoki Kozai, professor emeritus and former president of Chiba University, who is known as the father of plant factories, and Chieri Kubota, professor at the Ohio State University.

    Along with lectures, the training course, run on a specified platform, encourages participants to interact each other and gives them a chance to join an online live question-and-answer session.

    The course is available for anybody interested in PFALs–not only JPFA members but nonmembers as well. If you are curious, check here and apply now.
