On May 16, Dr. Chieri Kubota, a professor at Ohio State University who leads the Ohio Controlled Environment Agricultural Center (OHCEAC), visited Kashiwanoha Campus with OptimIA members.  During the JPFA×OptimIA Collaboration Forum the visiting professors and researchers, together with JPFA member companies gave lightning talks and held discussions on the construction and operation of plant factories. 

Arianetech hopes to cooperate with universities and colleges in the future to design and build new modern plant factory, which are resilient enough to be able to compete with traditional farms. One of the American professors whose  research is focusing on how to increase the economic benefits of plant factories, is highly consistent with what we are currently pursuing now and this is a new research area where we don’t see much but is crucial to the survival of indoor farms.

The OptimIA project is a multi-state university research and extension collaboration among controlled-environment plant physiologists, agricultural engineers, and agricultural economists.
