| The
Cornell University CEA Program is actively conducting leading research in
commercial-scale crop production. Current research is focused on the various
aspects of CEA crop production for Lettuce, Spinach, and Tomato. Projects
range from developing computer models to predict impending crop damage or
failure, evaluating marketing strategies and developing value-added products
grown in a controlled environment, investigating hydroponic crop production
for life support in space flight environments, improving the nutritional value
of crops for humans, and developing environmentally-friendly biological controls
of insect and disease pests.
