Bet­ter Plants and the vfi shar­ing research facil­i­ties in East­ern and West­ern Aus­tria. Main goal of the devel­op­ment of in-Vit­ro process­es is to inves­ti­gate to what extend con­ven­tion­al uses of indoor farm­ing (CEA-prac­tis­es) could be accom­pa­nied with in-Vit­ro-tech­nol­o­gy /-process­es as addi­tion­al options of func­tions and space pro­grammes for real estate devel­op­ment projects.

Next to con­ven­tion­al archi­tec­tur­al and build­ing con­struc­tion require­ments (e.g. mate­ri­als, growth con­di­tions, HVAC-sys­tems) the focus lies on the analy­sis of ener­gy flows, prop­a­ga­tion meth­ods and plant mate­r­i­al conservations.

The ques­tion guid­ed this prac­tise, of course also includes the mar­ketable poten­tial and the con­tri­bu­tion to food security.
