GreenLight2.0: inclusive, accessible, and open horticultural greenhouse modelling

Simulation models are widely used in greenhouse horticultural research, for example, to find ways to reduce the energy use of greenhouses while maintaining high production of nutritious vegetables. This project will develop a new greenhouse model that is open, applicable for worldwide scenarios, accessible and attractive for all greenhouse researchers. The model will provide a common, modular and free-access framework for researchers, which will allow re-use, sharing, expanding, and comparing research. The project’s diverse team will promote the model in various outlets, initiating a wide research community working on a shared, common framework, for the first time in greenhouse modelling.
