- Crop physiology and production in controlled environments: Examine plant responses under controlled conditions, focusing on key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, water use and nutrient uptake to advance understanding of growth and development.
- Genetic and environmental integration: Integrate genetic research with environmental control strategies to optimize crop performance in controlled environments.
- Stress response: Investigate plant responses to environmental stressors to enhance adaptation and resilience in controlled systems.
- Advanced technologies in control environment: Implement state-of-the-art technologies, including hydroponics, aeroponics and automation systems, to enhance plant growth and resource efficiency in regulated environments.
- Resource efficiency: Enhance the efficiency of resource use by minimizing the wastage of water, nutrients and energy in controlled agricultural systems.
- Sustainable crop production: Develop and promote sustainable and efficient agricultural practices.
