Introduction

Priva, a global leader in climate and process automation for horticulture, and Gardin, a pioneer in plant physiology analytics, are proud to announce an integration that empowers growers with an overview of climate and crop performance data. Through the integration of Gardin’s real-time photosynthesis insights within the Priva One operating system, growers can now monitor how plants are responding to their environment in real time. This collaboration brings plant feedback and climate data together, eliminating the need to switch between multiple platforms and helping growers refine their cultivation strategies with precision.

Transforming Plant Signals into Actionable Intelligence

Gardin’s technology translates plant signals into meaningful insights that empower greenhouse, vertical farming, and seed breeding operations to grow more efficiently and sustainably. By adding this intelligence into the Priva One ecosystem, growers gain new levels of visibility into crop performance, unlocking immediate operational benefits:

  • Real-Time Photosynthesis Response. See how climate conditions directly influence plant productivity, helping optimise growth, yield, and quality.
  • Proactive Risk Management. Early detection of stress allows growers to intervene before it affects yield or quality, improving consistency and profitability.
  • Lighting and Shading Optimisation. Gardin’s unique insights into plant light use efficiency guide growers to make data-driven lighting and shading decisions that maximise photosynthetic returns and minimise energy costs.
  • Strategy Validation & Continuous Improvement. Quantify how cultivation strategies perform across growth stages and fine-tune parameters to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and crop outcomes.

A Shared Vision for Smarter, More Sustainable Growing

This collaboration reflects Priva’s focus on helping growers achieve consistent and sustainable results,” said Edo van Keulen, responsible for integration partnerships. “By integrating Gardin’s plant intelligence into Priva One , growers receive direct feedback from their crops and can view insights to grow a profitable crop. All in one reliable platform.” 

Sumanta Talukdar, CEO of Gardin, added:
Our mission has always been to make plants the central source of truth in cultivation. Partnering with Priva enables us to deliver that mission at scale, giving growers the real-time intelligence they need to grow more efficiently, sustainably, and profitably.

About Gardin

Gardin transforms plant signals into real-time insights that help the controlled-environment agriculture sector grow smarter. By combining proprietary optical sensors, physiological models, and AI analytics, Gardin empowers growers to optimise plant health, reduce resource use, and increase yield across greenhouse, vertical farming, and seed breeding operations.
