The Ancient Romans would burn fires among their vineyards and we still do this today in some regions. All of today's legacy technologies, primarily irrigation, frost fans, and heaters, ignore the root cause of frost in favour of warming crops or dispelling cold air.

These technologies are too expensive, inefficient, and unsustainable. Increased damages driven by climate change together with population growth and global food insecurity demand innovation. Our research has made this possible for the first time.
