As the world faces mounting challenges from climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity, this book provides a forward-looking perspective on how controlled environment horticulture (CEH) can revolutionize global food systems. It brings together insights on smart greenhouses, vertical farming, bioreactor-based production, precision agriculture, and gene-edited crops, showcasing how technological and biological innovation can converge to enhance yield, quality, and resource efficiency.
The book also discusses AI-driven automation, efficient lighting systems, water optimization, and sustainability metrics, offering readers a comprehensive roadmap for the next generation of food production systems. Real-world case studies highlight successful CEH models, reinforcing the role of biotechnology in ensuring global food security.
Edited by Dr. Hemant Bagul, Dr. Nikita Patel, Dr. Timur Ahlawat, Prof. Dr. R. Krishnamurthy, and Dr. Stephen Oyedeji, this interdisciplinary volume brings together leading experts from India, Malaysia, and Nigeria to present a unified vision for sustainable intensification in horticulture.
Ideal for researchers, agronomists, technologists, and policymakers, the book underscores how science-driven innovation and environmental responsibility can work hand in hand to secure a resilient agricultural future.
“Controlled Environment Horticulture: Where Plant Biotechnology Meets Sustainable Future” is now available from Bentham Science Publishers
