This book focuses on light-emitting diode (LED) lighting, mainly
for the commercial production of horticultural crops in plant
factories and greenhouses with controlled environments, giving
special attention to: 1) plant growth and development as affected
by the light environment; and 2) business and technological
opportunities and challenges with regard to LEDs. The book contains
more than 30 chapters grouped into seven parts: 1) overview of
controlled-environment agriculture and its significance; 2) the
effects of ambient light on plant growth and development; 3)
optical and physiological characteristics of plant leaves and
canopies; 4) greenhouse crop production with supplemental LED
lighting; 5) effects of light quality on plant physiology and
morphology; 6) current status of commercial plant factories under
LED lighting; and 7) basics of LEDs and LED lighting for plant
cultivation. LED lighting for urban agriculture in the forthcoming
decades will not be just an advanced form of current urban
agriculture. It will be largely based on two fields: One is a new
paradigm and rapidly advancing concepts, global technologies for
LEDs, information and communication technology, renewable energy,
and related expertise and their methodologies; the other is basic
science and technology that should not change for the next several
decades. Consideration should be given now to future urban
agriculture based on those two fields. The tremendous potentials of
LED lighting for urban agriculture are stimulating many people in
various fields including researchers, businesspeople, policy
makers, educators, students, community developers, architects,
designers, and entrepreneurs. Readers of this book will understand
the principle, concept, design, operation, social roles, pros and
cons, costs and benefits of LED lighting for urban agriculture, and
its possibilities and challenges for solving local as well as
global agricultural, environmental, and social issues.
