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
