……保健医療学部のみ解答(ビ］ 次の文章を読み， 以下の設問に答えなさい。
[1JE] ）……

A new ldncl of plant factory can grow vegetables, fruit and flowers year-round bycontrolling the temperature, light, water and nutrients given to the plants.

These newfactories can provide a stable supply of vegetables in every season. The plants are grown
there with nutrient solution instead of soil, so they can be grown in city centers or on
vacant factory land or even at Showa Station, Japan's Antarctic expedition base.
[2JThese new factories use large solar panels to generate the electricity needed to control
temperature, light and water.

Creating ideal growing conditions is a delicate process.

The brightness of the fluorescent lights is changed each morning and each evening tocreate artificial daylight and dusk.

The temperature is set to make an environment

similar to the season in the natural environment when the vegetables grow to their mostdelicious point.

Though vegetables grow more quickly when the temperature is kept

constant, they will be crisper if the temperature is varied while they grow.
[ 3]

Fast-growing vegetables can be harvested about 22 to 35 days after planting.
varieties of vegetables can be harvested about 20 times a year.

SomeThe vegetables arc

chemical-free so they can be eaten without washing them, and they have no insect holes.
High-quality vegetables can be grown throughout the year and arc comparable in taste tonatural vegetables in season. Because plant factories can keep out harmful insects, it's
possible to increase production if fast-growing vegetable types are selected.
[ 4]

However, these high-tech plant factories may not be successful. First, the factories arevery expensive to build and operate. A fully controlled plant factory costs 17 times moreto build than a plastic greenhouse of the same size, and 47 times more to operate.
Another problem is that not all plants can survive in fact01,'conditions. Leaf vegetables,fruits such as strawberries, and flowers grow well in plant factories.

[5J

Plant factories are a major change in agriculture; they could provide a constant,dependable supply of vegetables. The government plans to provide financial assistanceto factory operators.
