Environmentally Controlled Agriculture

Environmentally Controlled Agriculture (ECA) refers to farming methods where environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, light, and nutrients are carefully managed within controlled facilities like greenhouses or growth chambers. This precise regulation optimizes plant growth, enhances crop quality, and allows year-round production regardless of external weather or seasonal changes. ECA often incorporates advanced technology, including sensors and automated systems, to create ideal growing conditions, reduce resource usage, and increase productivity sustainably. It enables farmers to produce reliable yields in a controlled environment, addressing challenges like climate variability and limiting the impact on natural ecosystems.
