Contextual conditions define maximum energy-use threshold in low-carbon controlled environment agriculture for agri-food transformation [PDF]

Nature Communications
Controlled Environment Agriculture has the potential to achieve food security and lower carbon emissions in agri-food systems. However, contextual factors such as what is produced and how it is produced determine the feasibility of meeting these goals ...

Improvement of crop production in controlled environment agriculture through breeding [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) represents one of the fastest-growing sectors of horticulture. Production in controlled environments ranges from highly controlled indoor environments with 100% artificial lighting (vertical farms or plant ...
