Bacterially enhanced plant‐growing media for controlled environment agriculture [PDF]

Microbial Biotechnology
Microbe–plant interactions in the root zone not only shape crop performance in soil but also in hydroponic cultivation systems. The biological and physicochemical properties of the plant‐growing medium determine the root‐associated microbial community ...

The future potential of controlled environment agriculture. [PDF]

PNAS Nexus
Abstract The production of high-quality food needs to increase to feed the growing global population. Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) systems in a vertical farm setting—in which several layers are stacked above each other, thus increasing the area for growth—can substantially boost productivity for crops, algae, mushrooms, fish,

Root exudates in controlled environment agriculture: composition, function, and future directions [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Two decades of research has revealed an intricate network of root exudates in plants, which they use to interact with and mediate their surrounding environment, the rhizosphere. Prior research has been conducted mainly on model plants such as Arabidopsis

Opportunities for membrane technology in controlled environment agriculture

Frontiers in Membrane Science and Technology
Controlled environment agriculture has the potential to enhance agriculture sustainability, a United Nations sustainable development goal. Enclosed agricultural facilities can be used in locations that cannot support field agriculture while reducing water usage and increasing productivity relative to open field agriculture.
