SFU researchers take greenhouses to the next level

SFU engineering professor Majid Bahrami, along with his research collaborators at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), were recently awarded a $725,000 grant to take sustainable technologies to the next level. The grant was awarded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) for the team’s “From Waste to Clean Food” project to develop sustainable agricultural technologies.   According to Bahrami, the researchers at KPU will be “developing a model of growing crops, while the researchers at SFU will be responsible for designing clean technologies that optimize crop growth conditions.” The SFU team is working to develop closed greenhouse technology…
