Distributed Farm Optimization System

摘要

The growing management system optimizes peak aggregate nutrients normalized against aggregate delivered cost for edible plants including vegetables, herbs and fruits. This growing management system enables each plant harvested for consumer maximized nutrient and/or flavor value, not for farmer or distribution profit maximization, with more specific objective of harvesting at time of immediate consumer consumption.

主权项

1. A plant production system comprised of a plant in a growing stage, a cost basis in a time domain for the plant in the growing stage, the cost basis in the time domain includes harvesting costs and is operable to decrease growing cost normalized by an aggregate nutrient level on a combined cost basis including at least two cost parameters of energy, land rent, fertilizer and crop loss cost.
