Shading system for greenhouses
I have the idea which could help to increase crop yield by 10-20 percent.
Why not develop a liquid foam shading system that mimics cloud cover? Such a system will make it possible to automatically shade greenhouses.
This foam will filter the sunlight (i.e. will reduce solar radiation and control temperature) while still providing the plants with the light needed for photosynthesis. There also will be sensors to monitor the conditions within the greenhouse.
