LEIBNIZ INSTITUTE FOR VEGETABLE AND ORNAMENTAL CROPS (IGZ) E.V.

In the department of “Next-generation horticultural systems” (HORTSYS-IGZ), we create model-based monitoring using systems modelling and sensor technology, aiming at resource-use-optimized production. We use our research for environmental control and resource conservation in greenhouses and controlled environments.

HORTSYS-IGZ participates in ECONUTRI project in:

  • WP5 Environmental impacts, life cycle analysis & socioeconomic aspects as WP Leader
  • 1 Systems modelling and environmental assessment as responsible for Subtask
  • WP2, WP3 and WP4 as collaborators for modelling selected innovations

For WP 5.1 we use our expertise in production systems and explanatory modelling to analyze new innovations
