International Training Workshop on High Efficient Plant Factory Technology October 12-31, 2015 Beijing Ministry of Science and Technology, P. R. China Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (GS，CAAS) Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture of CAAS （IESDA，CAAS）Program Announcement International Training Workshop on High Efficient Plant Factory Technology October 12-31, 2015 Beijing  Purpose of the Training Workshop The training workshop aims to introduce research achievements and applications of the plant factory technology in China, promote the development and application of high-efficiency in production with science and technology on vegetables, flowers and other horticultural products for developing countries, and enhance staff ability of management. The workshop also intends to speed up the transfer of Chinese high-tech agricultural technologies and strengthen cooperation and exchanges between China and other developing countries. The Overview of the Training Workshop Brief description The first plant factory in China was developed by Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) which has many years of experience on research and production. The plant factory applied by CAAS aids the steady production of high-quality vegetables all year round by artificial controlling the cultivation environment (e.g., light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, and culture solution). By controlling the internal environment and using multi-shelf system, plant factories can produce about 2-4times more vegetables than was possible in the typical outdoor cultivation.
