Controlled Environment Agriculture
A.J. Both, Ph.D., Controlled Environment Engineering Specialist

Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) crop production encompasses growing systems for bedding plants, pot plants, cut flowers, plugs, and vegetables. CEA production incorporates some type of structure with related environmental control and plant growing systems. The structures range from simple shades to fully enclosed structures. The degree of environmental control ranges from simple (often manual and controlling a limited number of environmental parameters) to highly sophisticated (computer control of all impacting environmental parameters).
