Rebekka’s coverage predominantly revolves around agriculture and farming, with a specific focus on vertical farming, CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture), and sustainability within the industry. To effectively reach out to Rebekka, consider providing content related to advancements in vertical farming technology, sustainable practices in agriculture, or innovations in CEA.
As Rebekka often features private sector announcements and press releases, she may be particularly interested in receiving information about new products or technologies related to vertical farming. Additionally, given her interest in industry-specific news and private sector announcements, reaching out with unique case studies or success stories within the field of agriculture could also capture her attention.
Rebekka's geographic focus is not specified; however, considering that she covers specific projects such as those from Lithuania and Singapore without an explicit geographical preference suggests openness to international topics relevant to her areas of interest.

"At NIBIO, we don't use natural gas to heat anymore so we do not benefit from waste carbon dioxide. With DAC technology, we capture carbon dioxide from outside and put it in the greenhouse. While using hydroelectric energy, allows us to be a zero-emission system," says Michel Verheul, Senior Research Scientist at NIBIO in Særheim, Norway.

"Switching from HPS to LED lighting can result in energy savings of 50–70%. In our trials, we've demonstrated an energy efficiency of 3.5 to 5 micromoles per joule, outperforming many of our competitors, who often achieve around 3.3 micromoles per joule at best," says Halvard Aagaard, CEO of Photosynthetic, a Norwegian lighting manufacturer specializing in LED lighting for cinematic and horticulture purposes.

"We have contracts based on volume and in the winter, prices are fixed for a good part of the production but we also collaborate with other growers to project the cucumber supply for the coming weeks then make price recommendations," says Kristian Solbergs, Chief Executive Officer of Solbergs Gartneri. Solbergs Gartneri AS is a third-generation greenhouse located in Vettre, Norway and currently run by Kristian Solberg. The greenhouse produces 7% of Norway's cucumber production.
"Growing under LED lighting is completely different to growing under HPS lighting". This is a phrase often repeated by greenhouse growers having made the switch to LED lighting after years of growing under HPS or SON-T fixtures. A major point of adjustment is climate management, as LED fixtures produce significantly less radiant heat than their predecessors.
