$29.00
Climate-Controlled Greenhouses vs. Indoor Farming is a 168-page publication for anyone hesitating between building a Climate-Controlled Greenhouse or establishing an advanced Indoor Farm powered entirely by LED lights.
The first part of the book focuses on Climate-Controlled Greenhouses, outlining the pros and cons of every option for construction material, cooling, heating, humidity control, flooring, air circulation, etc.
The second part covers Indoor Farming, discussing LED light strategies, CO₂ management, HVAC options, sanitary protocols, and compares building an indoor farm from scratch versus repurposing an existing structure.
Based on our hands-on experience developing CEA projects in over 50 countries across 6 continents, this publication provides the essential knowledge to help readers determine whether a Climate-Controlled Greenhouse or an Indoor Farm is the best solution for their specific needs and budget.
No matter the climate, this is the only publication that outlines the pros and cons of every option for climate-controlled greenhouses and indoor farms. Our real-world experience ranges from developing large commercial projects from the ground up to repurposing small garages into efficient indoor farms.
Not only is Climate-Controlled Greenhouses vs. Indoor Farming the only book to cover the subject in such depth, but it is also the only one written by a team of professionals with hands-on experience. Unlike guides written from behind a desk, this book is authored by experts who have truly walked the walk, developing climate-controlled greenhouses and indoor farms in some of the world’s most challenging environments, from the harsh cold of Mongolia to the intense heat of the Middle East.
One key focus of the book is cost. We provide clear breakdowns of expenses, from initial investments to long-term operating costs.
Beyond conventional crops, we explore specialized options such as growing mushrooms, cultivating algae, and raising insects and snails in controlled environments.
