Climate change and greenhouse farming

Climate change has made traditional farming more vulnerable due to unpredictable weather, rising temperatures, irregular rainfall, and increased pest attacks. These challenges reduce crop yields and quality, especially in a country like India where agriculture heavily depends on the climate. To adapt, farmers are shifting to protected cultivation methods like greenhouses, polyhouses, and nethouses. These structures offer a controlled environment for temperature, humidity, and light, helping grow crops year-round with less water and fewer chemicals. They also protect against heavy rain, extreme heat, and pests, ensuring better productivity and income.
