Gauri’s love of technology has taken him far. During his PhD study in Biotic Environment Science at Iwate University in Japan, Gauri developed a web-based support system that used image processing to diagnose rice diseases. After completing this study, he worked at the Mirai Co. where he was involved in the development of many plant factories in Japan and dedicated a great deal of effort in establishing a modern plant factory in the heart of the Mongolian desert. It was there he learned what a powerful effect that light has in influencing the cultivation process. Gauri recently joined the Philips Horti team in Japan to further expand his knowledge about modern cultivation technologies.
We know there is going to be a food crisis in the future due to population growth and environmental problems. We should be prepared to provide efficient solutions to supplement crop cultivation and lighting is a critical factor here. Philips Horti is always working to optimize the light energy needed to grow the crops. So the innovations of Philips Horti are important for the entire horticulture community.”
