A comprehensive exploration into the convergence of advanced plant science, engineering, and biotechnology to revolutionize food production in controlled environments. As global challenges such as climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity intensify, this book highlights the transformative potential of controlled environment horticulture (CEH) in building a more resilient and sustainable food future. The volume covers a wide range of topics, including smart greenhouse technologies, precision agriculture, vertical farming, bioreactor-based plant production, and gene-edited crops optimized for indoor systems.

It integrates biological advances with technological innovations to improve yield, quality, and resource efficiency in horticultural practices. By blending plant biotechnology with environmental control strategies, the book serves as a roadmap for sustainable intensification in horticulture.

Key features:

-Explores integration of genomics, phenotyping, and controlled environments.
-Demonstrates the use of sensors, AI, and automation in smart horticultural systems.
-Addresses energy-efficient lighting, water use, and nutrient management.
-Highlights sustainability metrics and circular economy practices.
-Provides case studies on commercial CEA models and innovation pathways.
