Description
Krishna Bhattarai and co-authors review in 2024 how plant breeding can lift output in indoor and greenhouse farming. Such controlled farming is among the fastest growing parts of horticulture. It spans plant factories lit wholly by lamps, high tech glasshouses, and simple tunnels.
Most of these farms grow crops in water based systems rather than soil. Freed from the need for farmland, they can sit in or near cities. Yet the crop varieties on offer were bred for open fields, not for lamps and trays. Breeding for light recipes, tight spaces, and fast cycles could raise yields and quality indoors. The review surveys traits worth breeding and the tools to breed them. Better matched varieties would cut the energy cost per kilo of food.
