Biosystems Engineering: Biofactories for Food Production in the Century XXI

This book offers a thorough review of new bioactive greenhouse food production systems, and outlines the conception and design of new instrumentation for precision agriculture and aquaculture in food production.

This book presents new food production systems (for plants and animals) involving agrochemicals that increase in a controlled manner the bioactives content, under greenhouse conditions. Moreover, conception and design of new instrumentation for precision agriculture and aquiculture contributing in food production is also highlighted in this book.
