Microgreens: Systems, Nutrients, and Water

ABOUT THE LIVE WEBINAR

Unlock the potential of your microgreens business in this grower-focused webinar led by Francesco Di Gioia, Associate Professor of Vegetable Crop Science at Penn State. Participants will explore alternative production systems—including greenhouse and vertical indoor setups, with and without substrate—while examining their advantages, limitations, and overall efficiency. The session will also address key considerations for selecting growing media and managing water and nutrients in both organic and conventional systems. With growing interest in micro- to large-scale indoor farming, especially in urban and peri-urban areas, this webinar offers timely guidance to help producers make informed decisions and optimize their operations. This material is based upon work supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number 2023-70027-40447.
