The aging farmer population, decreasing agricultural lands and changing climatic conditions will cause the world population to reach levels that cannot meet its nutritional needs over time.
The environmentally friendly high-tech greenhouses to be established may be the solution to meet the world's nutritional needs in the future. These high-tech greenhouses are not only environmentally friendly, but also provide a serious upward trend in the agricultural sector with the efficiency they provide in terms of economy and production.
Being the pioneer of this technology, the Netherlands is the world's second largest agricultural food exporter with its production in high-tech greenhouses. The Netherlands, which is slightly larger than Konya in terms of area, is the country that produces the second largest agricultural output in the world thanks to its high-tech greenhouses.
According to the researches, it is thought that we will need an area the size of 2 planets to produce enough food for the world population by 2050.
In 1945, during the last months of the German occupation of World War II, during this period called the "Dutch hunger winter", nearly 20,000 people died in the Netherlands. As a result of these painful events, the production in the modern greenhouses of the Netherlands began to accelerate.

By the 2000s, the Dutch produced more using less resources; With its modern greenhouse productions, it has eliminated the use of chemical pesticides and reduced the dependence on water for important crops by up to 90%.
In a study conducted by Wageningen University in the Netherlands, in high-tech greenhouse cultivation; It has been proven that water and plant nutrients provide higher input efficiency, as well as an increase in product quality. In addition, due to the fact that high-tech greenhouses are not affected by current climatic conditions, the advantage of delivering the grown products on time has been revealed in this research.
Considering the size of the area where the production is made, it has been proven that the performance of the production made in a high-tech greenhouse is higher than an area where traditional agricultural production is made.
Today, depending on the products grown in it, a production equivalent to the production of 1,500 or 1,800 acres of open area can be made in 60-decare high-tech greenhouses.
With the adaptation and adaptation of developing technologies to high-tech greenhouses, this production performance in modern greenhouses will increase even more.
High-tech greenhouses will determine the future of world agriculture, together with these technologies and techniques that are constantly being developed and renewed.
