FROM THE North Central Regional Association (NCRA) of Agricultural Experiment Station Directors WEBSITE:
"Agricultural issues related to production, the environment, and dietary health are, and will continue to be, important components of the nation’s well-being. Research activities in production agriculture, environmental science, plant physiology, genetics and ecology have begun to address these issues and require various forms of controlled environments to obtain objective results. Thus, providing sound scientific data upon which to base agricultural policy issues requires the ability to study various aspects of plant growth and development in controlled environments. The use of completely and/or partially controlled environments in commercial production of horticultural and ornamental crops is also steadily increasing and represents a significant portion of the U.S. economy. Controlled environment technology has improved as our understanding of plant growth has increased. However, the complexity of such systems has increased as demands for precision and accuracy by researchers and growers have heightened. Controlled environment facilities are expensive to operate and maintain, and require careful management to ensure desired conditions are sustained. Sustained dialogue among scientists, engineers, and industrial users of controlled environment technology is needed in order to ensure appropriate use and continued development of this vital technology."
