Controlled Environment Agriculture (C.E.A)
Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) refers to a modern farming approach that involves creating optimized growing conditions within an enclosed environment to cultivate crops. By controlling various factors such as temperature, humidity, light, and nutrient levels, CEA in the STEM Center aims to maximize crop yields, minimize resource usage, and provide a consistent and predictable growing environment throughout the year.
Advantages
CEA at our STEM Center offers several advantages over conventional farming methods. Firstly, it allows for significant water conservation by using recirculating irrigation systems that minimize water waste. Secondly, CEA systems here can be highly energy-efficient by utilizing LED lighting, advanced climate control systems, and automation technologies to optimize resource consumption. Moreover, CEA in the STEM Center reduces the need for pesticides and herbicides, as the enclosed environment provides a natural barrier against pests and diseases, leading to healthier and safer produce.
Over The Years
CEA has gained popularity in recent years due to its potential to address various challenges in modern agriculture, including food security, limited arable land availability, and environmental sustainability. It offers the opportunity to produce food closer to urban areas, reducing transportation distances and carbon emissions associated with long-distance food supply chains.
