UK: Sainsburys hopes to extend British strawberry season with LED technology

Sainsbury’s is working with Stockbridge Technology and Wallings Nursery in Kent to help extend the British strawberry season. With 17.3million punnets of British strawberries sold at Sainsbury’s during the 2013 season, it’s hoped that through the application of supplementary LED lighting, the season can be extended to give customers British fruit for more of the year.

You can find a complete video report with Stockbridge's researcher Phillip Davis in Sainsbury's overview of the food supply trends in 2014.
