COFES 2016 Plant-Controlled Lighting Technology Maieutic Parataxis March 2016 Plant driven lighting technology to reduce the costs of indoor farms using the Biofeedback control of LED lights. To reduce the costs of indoor farms increase food production

Quantity Time Current situation Population Food Farm Land 2050 To execute all the presented we have an experienced team with the necessary background in sciences, manufacturing, administration and Business development ready to move forward and grow the company. Farm Land Time

Controlled Environmental Agriculture Electricity 30% Operational Cost High nutritional value Up to 100x production yield The increasing demand for natural products and the rising world population boost the need for controlled growing systems using artificial lighting

Problem Opportunity! Most important Most expensive Least optmized Required by the plants and low necessity of control Light has big impact and affect plant development We develop a light system that monitors plants light use efficiency and needs Most important Most expensive Least optmized Opportunity!

Biofeedback system Chlorophyll fluorescence is used to monitor the plant’s light use efficiency. Biofeedback system allows us to determine the optimum light levels for specific crop production. Plants’ lighting profile. The next step in lighting optimization Fluorescence

Biofeedback Control 1 2 3 Plant Sensor Control Software LED lights - Lights are “talking” to the plants - Light Optimization in Real Time - Based on the plants photosynthetic needs - Match to the plants’ highest efficiency - Patented technology

How much light? Parameters 1) Which Plant? 2) The Weather? 3) Light Source?

Identify the amount of light that produces the highest gram/dollar Light Profile Identify the amount of light that produces the highest gram/dollar Biomass Production Light Energy Slow crop growth Diminishing returns Optimum ROI Benefits - Predictability of crop production period - Accelerate crop production - Greenhouse management

Efficiency Non-controlled lights BFB-controlled lights First of all, why care about light in greenhouses and controlled environment agriculture?

How is this impacting the world? Expected Food Population Quantity Projected Food To execute all the presented we have an experienced team with the necessary background in sciences, manufacturing, administration and Business development ready to move forward and grow the company. Farm Land Time
