Crop production is a very challenging business.

Weather and climate
conditions play an important role in determining the pace of crop production.
During times when the global food security strongly depends on crop production,
there is no place for any limitations. Therefore, the search for solutions resulted
in farm practices that involve farming in a controlled environment. Greenhouse
farming is one of the basic variations of farming in a controlled environment. It is
the unique farm practice of growing crops within sheltered structures covered
by a transparent, or partially transparent, material. Its main purpose is to
provide favorable growing conditions and to protect crops from bad weather
and various pests. More concretely, it optimizes the growth of the
crops and protects them from extreme weather events. Some types of it even
extend the growing season which allow the farmers to grow the crops
outside of their typical season. Greenhouses that are additionally equipped
offer the possibility to take complete control of the crop production, which
leads to faster growth and higher agricultural yields.
