What does CEA stand for in farming?

CEA is a method of creating fully controlled environments for growing plants. This is sometimes referred to as ‘vertical farming’ or ‘indoor farming’.

As the name suggests, these facilities are sealed off from the outside environment. Everything plants need at their various growing stages is provided artificially, including water, temperature, humidity levels, ventilation, light and CO2.

 

About

Inside a CEA facility, you’ll see produce underneath LED growing lights with hydroponic (or aquaponic) systems providing water and nutrients. Heaters, ventilators, dehumidifiers, CO2 enrichment, humidifiers and coolers are used to regulate optimum growing climates.tivation).

These sheltered, controlled mini-ecosystems mean that plants can be grown all year round. They are safe from outside contamination and make use of UV lights to remove bacteria.

When you can remove the challenges that come with traditional farming, the implications on output, long-term cost savings and environmental impact are enormous. There is no need for heavy machinery, pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers, and you will use significantly less water – CEA allows us to produce crops with 70% less water than required for normal cultivation.
