indoor farm
Sheltered crop facility
An indoor farm is a facility where crops are grown inside a building rather than in open fields, typically using controlled environments with artificial lighting, climate regulation, and hydroponic or aeroponic systems.
Indoor farms can operate year-round regardless of weather and are often located in urban areas to reduce transportation costs: The indoor farm produces lettuce for local restaurants even in winter.
