Agriculture has continually evolved, from simple methods to the use of modern machinery and other technologies such as greenhouses.
Before installing a greenhouse, some questions need to be answered.
- What is the advantage of having a greenhouse?
- Is investment and operation expensive?
- Can I make good use of the greenhouse?
- Do I have enough free space to set up a greenhouse?
You should get answers to these questions when setting up a greenhouse.
Increased Production
Compared to the open field, the greenhouse has more control in creating the optimal climatic conditions needed for a plant to grow. The farmer can also grow more plants per square meter than crops produced in the open field. Greenhouse farming is considered a practice of intensive farming and can provide an increase in plant production
The greenhouse is a closed area. For this reason, besides the damages that may occur due to climate change such as sudden temperature increases or decreases, it also protects plants from birds and other animals that may harm them.
When applying greenhouse farming, the product profit per square meter can be up to twice that of alternative open field farming.
A greenhouse farmer can combine different practices and strategies such as hydroponics with his production for maximum crop yields. By using resources more efficiently, it can generate less waste and turn that into greater profits.

A well-designed and well-built greenhouse can prevent problems like pests and weeds and provide greater control against other diseases. In production in a closed area, the number of people can be limited to only the necessary personnel. As a result, fewer people enter and leave the production area, reducing the risk of unwanted pests approaching the crops.
In a greenhouse, the farmer need not depend on the seasons to grow certain crops. He just needs to create the right climate inside the greenhouse by supplying the products he wants to grow and the necessary tools. A greenhouse is independent of the outside world, so greenhouses remove the limitation of growing crops in a particular season.
As the greenhouse farmer is not dependent on climatic conditions, an increase in stability and security is achieved not only for the crops but also for the workers. Greenhouses ensure that we have a constant supply of food and therefore the world is free from hunger and poverty.
