Digital Twins in greenhouse horticulture: A review

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2022
Digital Twins can be considered as a new phase in smart and data-driven greenhouse horticulture. A Digital Twin is a digital equivalent to a real-life object of which it mirrors its behaviour and states over its lifetime in a virtual space. Research indicates that they can substantially enhance productivity and sustainability, and are able to deal with

Valorization of Greenhouse Horticulture Waste from a Biorefinery Perspective [PDF]

Foods, 2021
Greenhouse cultivation and harvesting generate considerable amounts of organic waste, including vegetal waste from plants and discarded products. This study evaluated the residues derived from tomato cultivation practices in Almería (Spain) as sugar-rich

Evolving Greenhouses: An Agent-Based Model of Universal Darwinism in Greenhouse Horticulture [PDF]

Jasss, 2013
To explore the space between the theories of the Diffusion of Innovations and Universal Darwinism, we first examine a case study of the history of the greenhouse horticulture sector of the Netherlands, comparing and contrasting the narrow focus of Diffusion of Innovations and the wider focus of Universal Darwinism.
