Welcome to the official site of Lumination

We are Lumination, a non-profit organisation aiming to help urban farmers to grow plants more effectively using the science of light. Founded by Addison Ang, Nathan Lee and Liu Yu An in 2023 to help combat the growing world population and food demand, we hope that this website will share some of our pioneering research in this field for all to use and study.

Our Mission: The effect of Light on biochemical processes in plants

The Singapore Government aims for Singapore to produce 30% of its food by 2030 through the SG Green Plan. To make the food more nutritious for people in Singapore, scientists are studying different types of light that can help plants grow better. As our founder will attest to, light has always been important for plant growth and farmers have known for a long time that sunlight is the best for growing crops.

New farming methods like vertical farming and hydroponics allow for precise control of the intensity and type of light plants receive using computer systems. Red and blue light are commonly used because they're easily absorbed by plants. Green light is often ignored, but scientists are interested find out if using green light could increase the energy content of plants and the amount of vitamins they contain.

 

At our organization, we study how light affects plant growth and vitamin levels, recommend the best conditions for growing healthy plants and make this information free for everyone at this website.
