Grateful thanks to AVRDC (Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center)

Dear Rene, 

                         
I am now retired and maybe that is why I look younger!
I certainly will guide any one of the AVRDC (Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center) students.

Good luck on your vertical farm. Purdue University was studying the effect of lights on plants, so they may have some useful publications. The senior researcher is Dr. Cary Mitchell.

Aloha,

Bernie Kratky
