Agnetix is to join the Greenhouse Lighting and Systems Engineering (GLASE) Consortium

Agnetix is to join the Greenhouse Lighting and Systems Engineering (GLASE) Consortium. Established in 2017 by Cornell University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the GLASE Consortium engages in research, education and the transfer of technology to industrial members and ultimately to the public so that consumers may enjoy the wide-ranging benefits.

Agnetix will join the ranks of the leading global innovators in the industrial controlled environment agriculture (CEA) industry.

The Consortium is headed by Erico Mattos, Ph.D., Executive Director, GLASE.  The mission is to develop advanced greenhouse lighting and control systems that are tailored to the needs of specific greenhouse and indoors cultivated crops. Their work extends to all areas of the CEA lighting environment, integrating advances in LED light engineering, carbon dioxide enrichment, and lighting control systems.  The ultimate goal is to ensure the food that is grown indoors is done so in the most efficient way possible with the lowest carbon footprint.
