Vineland’s TOV Shared Research Trial offers a unique platform for agri-tech companies to validate, refine, and advance their horticultural technologies, efficiently and collaboratively.
The Goal
To evaluate and advance emerging agri-technologies using real-world, commercial greenhouse conditions—ensuring they meet grower needs, demonstrate measurable impact, and are ready for market adoption.
The Objectives
Technology Validation
Assess each innovation using Technology Readiness Level (TRL) criteria to determine performance, feasibility, and readiness for commercial deployment.
Expert Collaboration
Provide participants with access to Vineland’s specialists in greenhouse systems, digital technology, and biological research to strengthen product refinement and development.
Real-World Performance Testing
Generate reliable data by testing technologies within Vineland’s advanced greenhouse facilities, reducing development risk and confirming practical application.
Grower-Driven Alignment
Use feedback from the Grower Advisory Panel—Matt Korpan, Steve Stasko, Michael Del Ciancio and Chad Brian—to ensure technologies align with commercial needs and operational realities.
Cost-Effective Innovation Pathway
Offer shared access to state-of-the-art infrastructure, enabling companies to conduct high-quality trials at a fraction of the cost of running standalone tests.
Enhanced Market Visibility
Increase exposure for participating technologies through Vineland’s newsletters and communications, reaching growers and industry decision-makers nationwide.
