Plant factories utilizing artificial light (PFALs) perform particularly well in terms of resource efficiency, although energy use, mainly due to the use of artificial light for plant photosynthesis, remains high. This chapter presents the latest innovations in horticulture, photobiology, climate management technology and urban symbiosis aimed at reducing the use of energy, water and soil for crop cultivation in PFALs in order to achieve the highest levels of resource use efficiency.
