I would agree this is a much needed resource for humanity to move forward and overcome our food crisis. While there is a lot of information out there for farming in soil, there is nearly no information for hydroponics. The information isn't transferable either. In hydroponics there are meant growing techniques and depending on those techniques there will be different tolerances for plant spacing and water requirements. The level of nutrients, light, pH, ds, etc should all remain the same however (unless it's aquaponics). The plant spacing and water requirements are a very large part though, and not knowing that definitely for each setup tends to cause startups a lot of time and money figuring this out. I worked on 2 state of the art growing projects as the lead engineer and this is a huge hindrance on innovation in this field. I applied to YC research for a grant to continue work on this issue and make the results openly available but unfortunately I was not a finalist. If anybody knows of any other grants that are available which this type of research would be eligible for please let me know.
