What is green house farming?

Green house farming is the farming of flowers or vegetables inside a green house made of plastic or glass.

Usually several cultures are rotated through the year.

Artificial lighting and heating is provided in order to simulate different regions or growing seasons with longer days and warmer temperatures.

Green houses allow either to grow vegetables that require a sunnier climate, or to grow vegetables ahead of the normal season, so that they can be sold at top prices and pay for the extra cost of green house farming.

It also provides a controlled environment with automated irrigation and where cultivation can be performed regardless of the external weather conditions.
