The pho­to­syn­the­sis rate is one of the most impor­tant indi­ca­tors for the seques­tra­tion of car­bon and thus the ener­gy of plants. 

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 

Food pro­duc­tion in green­hous­es has a long tra­di­tion. New tech­nolo­gies give the oppor­tu­ni­ty to devel­op this kind build­ing type. The devel­op­ment of alter­na­tive cul­ti­va­tion meth­ods, com­pare­able to the inven­tion of the ele­va­tor for sky­scrap­ers, lead to a new build­ing typol­o­gy – the ver­ti­cal farm.
