“Keep growing”

Miguel Ángel García Castilla is an agricultural chemist and a passionate innovator in indoor farming and hydroponics. With expertise in chemistry, photobiology, and mineral nutrition, he is dedicated to sustainable high-tech agriculture. His focus is on optimising plant growth, enhancing crop quality, and exploring new possibilities for urban and extreme environments.

Miguel Ángel has been a pioneer in designing dynamic multispectral lamps, adapting light spectra to the growth phases of plants. His research on the impact of blue and UVA photons on plant photoreceptors increases concentrations of antioxidants, anthocyanins, and cannabinoids in crops. He has also advanced hydroponic techniques to improve calcium mobility and prevent issues such as tip burn.

Beyond traditional methods, Miguel Ángel explores innovative technologies like PAFT (Plant Acoustic Frequency Technology), based on the study of acoustic frequencies to stimulate plant growth and resilience. These techniques are promising for challenging environments, including space agriculture, where conditions like microgravity pose a challenge to the aerospace industry.

Currently, he leads a social project to boost the growth and development of vertical urban farms, addressing food supply in cities and large population centres while promoting the use of sustainable agricultural practices in favour of local food sovereignty. With solid experience in nutritional formulations, LED lighting, and IoT automation, Miguel Ángel is a leading voice in the future of agriculture.
