The LED lighting plants or save agriculture to ensure food safety in the future

Nearly period of time 'fruit' frequent exposure. Is a watermelon poisoning, province students poisoning admitted to hospital after eating watermelon, some people in critical condition. Events also caused some supermarkets get angry citizens held 'watermelon activities'. Second, beekeeping beekeepers disclosed to the media after the bees gather nectar from strawberry. Three is kindergarten children found to precocious puberty, the reason is eating added fruit ripening.

these events are associated with pesticide residues and excess use of ripening agent.

in this paper, don't want to discuss the legal and ethical issues, here just want to talk about the issue of agriculture, or LED to the problem of agriculture.

as we all know, LED lighting development to today, there has been a serious problem of excess production capacity. Thousands of companies didn't order to die, or cargo heap in the warehouse. A little better, and also after a brutal price war, profits were wiped out, hours a coupon to save.

the LED industry overcapacity, must tap. There are two exports, a is break through to the optical communication field, the second is to plant lighting area, that is to say, the agricultural sector to find living space.

it should be said that at present LED light source has been very mature in technology, and application of LED light source in terms of plant growth, but also the breakthrough of in recent years. Leds as a crop of lighting, can solve the problem of deficiency caused by production, also can achieve energy saving energy saving efficiency, increase farmers' income, also there will be no use of pesticides and ripening agent problem, ensure food safety.

last year, I had to go to Taiwan attended plants, factories, and saw the chili, water bamboo, asparagus, lettuce, tomato, strawberry in the state of the plant growth and box. If manufacturer is allowed, you can even picking chewed directly, without washing, more don't have to worry about the pesticide residues, because there are no pesticides.

Taiwan early start in a few years the application of LED light source on the plant lighting. And is mainly used in agricultural high value crops, such as gold lotus, tin caulis dendrobii obstacle, cow cheese, etc. , these plants after the LED lighting, night and day fast growth, high price of post-marketing, return is generally several times of agricultural products. And the production cost is not high, because the LED itself is very energy efficient, and light pollution, can let the crops for photosynthesis, day and night so as to shorten the growth cycle.

now, we are most concerned about food safety problems, and traditional agriculture, it is difficult to fundamentally solve the problem. Because traditional agriculture depends on natural water and soil, cannot leave the meteorological factors such as climate, seasonal. Now, how many are natural water and soil pollution, each season also have pest problems, crop to use pesticide to completely eliminate, basic impossible.

these problems basic does not exist in the plant lighting factory, crop growth environment is basically a sterile room, staff must wear a smock, even in such an environment that grow fruits and vegetables, may rest assured to eat.

so the LED or can save agriculture.
