greenhouse farming
Glass-covered crop growing
Greenhouse farming is agriculture conducted inside enclosed transparent structures that trap solar heat and protect crops from weather, pests, and temperature extremes.
The controlled environment allows year-round growing regardless of outdoor conditions: Greenhouse farming has made fresh tomatoes available in winter.
The practice ranges from small hobby operations to industrial-scale facilities covering acres.
